![The image depicts two young boys standing side by side on a concrete surface, which appears to be an outdoor court or playground. They are dressed in casual clothing from the early 20th century; one boy is wearing a dark jacket and trousers with shoes that suggest practicality for play, while the other wears a light-colored sweater over a long-sleeve shirt paired with darker trousers and boots. Both have short haircuts typical of boys their age during this period.
They are both smiling towards the camera, exuding an air of camaraderie despite any underlying circumstances suggested by the context provided in the caption. The background is minimalistic but indicates they may be on a schoolyard or recreational area due to its open space and lack of other people or objects within close proximity.
The photograph has a monochromatic tone, common for historical photos from this era. A handwritten inscription at the top attributes the image as "Dorothea Lange," likely referring to Dorothea Lange, an American photographer known for her work documenting social issues during the early 20th century in California and beyond.
The caption provides a historical backdrop of San Francisco's public school system amidst World War II. It mentions Yuichi Sumi and Tommy Wong as students at Weill Public School with Japanese and Chinese descent respectively.

![This image depicts a historical document and photograph displayed on what appears to be an archive or museum wall. The top section of the display includes text providing context about San Francisco, California during April 1942, mentioning T.Z. Shiota as an importer in Chinatown who was involved with Japanese American evacuees prior to their relocation centers due to war-related reasons.
A prominent feature is a photograph labeled "T.Z. SHIOTA" by Dorothea Lange (Per NRA., May '40), showing the individual identified and photographed by Dorothea Lange, likely during that time period.
Below this section are two other pieces of paper with handwritten notes or correspondence: one titled "HANDMADE SWITCHBOARD," mentioning T.Z. Shiota again in relation to a personal connection as someone's friend who helped him after he was released from incarceration at the Manzanar camp and later worked for him, possibly assisting with some work.
The second piece of paper is labeled "T. Z. SHIOTA 1958 GRAIN VINEYARD," mentioning T.Z. Shiota again as a part-time employee since the early '30s who was recently laid off but had plans to start farming in March and hoping for better crops this year.
There's also an official-looking document titled "US War relocation authority D-252" that appears to be related to wartime operations, including information about housing evacuees in war relocation centers.

![The image depicts a black and white photograph taken in San Francisco, California during April 1942. It shows two men seated on chairs indoors with various packed items around them, including suitcases and large bags possibly containing personal belongings or supplies for relocation.
One of the men appears to be focused intently on an object he is holding between his hands, while the other man sits in a more relaxed posture, looking away from the camera. The room has wooden floors and contains various pieces of furniture such as tables with items like coffee cups, suggesting it might be part of a living area or common space.
In the foreground are large bags labeled "War Relocation Authority," indicating that these men may have been moved to internment centers during World War II due to their Japanese heritage. The photograph is titled and annotated on its border, mentioning San Francisco's location in California for April 1942 and describing a scene of two friends playing a final game before being evacuated.
The image captures the somber mood of people impacted by wartime policies as they navigate uncertainty about where they will be relocated to during their internment. The presence of household items suggests that these individuals are attempting to preserve some semblance of normalcy amidst displacement and upheaval brought on by government action related to war-time measures concerning Japanese Americans.
