"Grandfather and Grandson of Japanese Ancestry at a War Relocation Authority Center, Manzanar, California," is a poignant black and white photograph by Dorothea Lange taken in 1942. It captures the somber mood of a Japanese American grandfather and his grandson, likely displaced from their home due to the forced internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Lange's photo, part of her documentation of the Manzanar internment camp, exemplifies her powerful ability to humanize those impacted by societal injustices, providing a glimpse into the personal cost of wartime prejudice.
