An Oakland, California, grocery store bears a “Sold” sign as well as one
proclaiming the patriotism of its owner. The Japanese American shopowner, a University of
California graduate, hung the “I am an American” sign the day after the attack
on Pearl Harbor. Soon afterward, the government shut down the shop and relocated the owner
to an internment camp, along with thousands of other Pacific Coast Japanese Americans.
