Scavenging for building materials, Tanforan Assembly Center, San Bruno, California, 1942

A woman with flipped forelock of hair, Mine Okubo, forages for lumber with her brother, Toku, to fix their living quarters, a former horse stall at Tanforan Assembly Center, California during World War II. Dressed in a cross-patterned jacket, Mine holds a plank while standing atop scrap-lumber pile. Toku, in jeans and striped pullover, pulls another plank from pile at right. The back of the head and shoulders of a man in a hat is visible in foreground. A row of five barracks stands in background left, behind piles of lumber and saw horses.
