Description
The Scott Nichols Gallery is pleased to present The Manzanar Project ANSEL ADAMS. The exhibition will be on view Wednesday, September 6 through Saturday, October 27, 2012.The Manzanar Project ANSEL ADAMS will consist of a collection of fifty photographs taken by Ansel Adams during his visits to Manzanar, a camp located in Inyo County, California where Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were interned during World War II. According to the Library of Congress, in 1942 over one hundred ten thousand people of Japanese ancestry, including Japanese immigrants, the American born, and the children of the American born, were singled out and removed from California, southern Arizona, western Washington and Oregon then sent to ten relocation camps. In 1988, Congress issued an apology on behalf of the nation stating that the internments had been "motivated largely by racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, and a failure of political leadership".
