From the epilogue by former Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark:  "That pictures can express truth more succinctly than words is proved here in the images of Dorothea Lange and the other photographers who documented the Japanese American relocation of World War II. The wistful, forlorn look of the children; the hopeless, dejected expression of their elders; the Nisei Grill that soon will be 'under new management'; the foreboding sign declaring that all one's possessions must be sold; the white storekeeper's sneering words 'We don't want any Japs back here EVER!'; the concentration camps; the armed sentries; the deportation lines—each is a powerful reminder of a nightmare that was acted out in our land of the free, all as the result of racism and wartime hysteria...."
