A grocery store bearing a sign that reads, “I AM AN AMERICAN,” which was placed on the front window the day after the Pearl Harbor attack. The store also bears a “SOLD” sign, after the owner, a University of California, Berkeley graduate of Japanese descent, followed evacuation orders. Photograph by Dorothea Lange. Oakland, California, April 1942.
