Students Pledging Allegiance

Title

Students Pledging Allegiance

Description

Students at San Francisco's Raphael Weill Elementary School began the day by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance just before the Japanese American children among them were forced to leave with their families. Second-generation Japanese American children in San Francisco lived bicultural lives. They were tied to Japan through their immigrant parents and connected to the American culture around them.
