Born Free and Equal
May 16, 2008


Corporal Jimmie Shohara, photo taken 1943 at Manzanar by Ansel Adams (photo from the Library of Congress'  Manzanar War Relocation Center photographs)I just finished a haunting and powerful digital book available in its entirety at the Library of Congress’ American Memory Project: Born Free and Equal is a “selection of Ansel Adams's photographs of the Manzanar internment camp which was published in 1944 by U.S. Camera along with a text by Adams.” There’s not much that I could possibly say that would add to what Adams achieved in the book – I urge you to read it, and to know and remember that the phenomenon Adams documented happened here, in America.

More as it happens,
Cheryl
