Paul Kitagki’s project “Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit” documents and illuminates a dark episode in our country's history, the relocation and incarceration of more than 120,000 ethnic Japanese Americans during WWII. Searching through photos at the National Archives in 1984, Pulitzer-prize photojournalist Paul Kitagaki Jr. found a photo taken by famed documentary photographer Dorothea Lange of his grandparents and father preparing to board a bus in Oakland, Calif. Through slow and painstaking research, Kitagaki has spent 16 years locating and winning the trust of the families who lived through the internment camps, documenting their stories of survival and inner strength to overcome injustice, racism, and wartime hysteria.
