Entitled: "Caravan of cars, with many military escort vehicles, W. 7th St. & S. Pacific Avenue." The internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII was the forced relocation and incarceration in camps of 110,000-120,000 people of Japanese ancestry (62% of the internees were US citizens) ordered by President Roosevelt shortly after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Japanese-Americans were incarcerated based on local population concentrations and regional politics.
