Dancing couple in barracks, Tanforan Assembly Center, San Bruno, California, 1942

A woman with flipped forelock of hair, Mine Okubo, watches a couple dancing the jitterbug while a neighbor tries to sleep on the other side of a partition inside barracks at Tanforan Assembly Center, California during World War II. In this cutaway view, the image is bisected by an incomplete wooden partition with a man clutching his head as he lies in bed under covers below a knothole at right. Meanwhile, Mine sits in center foreground, head and shoulders visible, as a couple dance beside partially visible radio playing music; top of dancer's heads cut off.
