We're Going to Wyoming and Idaho Evacuazette Extra, 1942

This image shows the front page of the August, 1942 edition of the Evacuazette, a special edition of the newspaper that was published to inform internees at the Portland Assembly Center about their upcoming relocation to permanent internment camps in Idaho and Wyoming. The Portland Assembly Center was one of fifteen temporary holding facilities that housed Japanese Americans who had been evacuated from their homes following the issuance of Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. Executive Order 9066 excluded Japanese Americans from security zones on the Pacific Coast during World War II.
