Bob Matsumoto created this iconic poster to honor the families who were incarcerated in the ten American concentration camps after the signing of the infamous Executive Order 9066. This poster is beautifully framed, printed on heavy stock, and signed by the artist (20 × 20 inches). Each element on the poster had deep meaning and symbolization:

• The black square behind the red, white, and blue barbed wire symbolizes the darkest days of incarcerees' lives and the civil rights that they were denied.
• The ten camps are reminders of the remote wastelands incarcerees were transported to and the hardships and humiliations they suffered.

The poster is displayed in the lobby of the Japanese American National Museum, Manzanar, the offices of Congresswoman Doris Mtsui, Congressman Adam Schiff, and the Chapel Hill Legal Offices.
