13th & Franklin Street, Oakland, California. March 13th, 1942.
Photograph by Dorothea Lange.
The owner, an American of Japanese descent, placed this sign on his storefront on December 8th, 1941, the day after Pearl Harbor. It stayed there until shortly after this photo was taken when the store was closed as a result of Americans of Japanese ancestry being sent off to internment camps.
