Colors of Confinement edited by Eric L. Muller ’84 (University of North Carolina). Most
pictures of Japanese internment camps are the work of documentarians
and military photographers. These were taken by a mechanic named Bill
Manbo, who was among the 10,000 Japanese Americans moved to Heart
Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming. Using newly invented 35mm
Kodachrome film and a makeshift tripod, Manbo portrays his family and
friends. He poses his toddler son in a tiny pilot’s leather jacket,
cap, and goggles eating an ice cream cone. In a less sanguine portrait,
the boy grasps a barbed-wire fence.
