Full title:The Reverend T. Shirakawa, Buddhist minister from Granada, and Henry Tanabe, formerly of Tule Lake Relocation Center, visit the Lincoln Memorial during their stay in Washington, D.C. In the background can be seen the Washington Monument. Reverend Shirakawa is still a resident of Granada, where his wife and children are now living. However, at his own expense he is making a trip around the country to see how Nisei and Issei are getting along in their new homes. He will then report back to the center in order to help others in their plans for relocating. Mr. Tanabe is accompanying him as interpreter. He worked in Waterbury, Conn. for a while and when his pre-induction physical for the Army came up, he was classified 4-F. His work as an interpreter is temporary, as he plans to take a regular job. He has two brothers in Chicago and his father and sister are at Heart Mountain Relocation Center but plan to join him. Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen "Washington, D.C.", .
