Biographical notes:

As a teenager, Bill Manbo Sr. was a Japanese American internee in the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming during World War II. During Manbo's internment, he surreptitiously took photographs of everyday life and events in the camp, including children at play, events, and buildings. He attended the Heart Mountain High School and graduated in 1947. This class has maintained an alumni group, one of whose members, Bacon Sakatani, wrote a description of the collection after the death of Manbo.
