During World War II, Japanese Americans were targeted and detained at internment camps, including the Colorado River Relocation Center in Poston, Arizona (also known as the Poston War Relocation Center). Learning that interned Japanese American men were required to register for selective service, George Fujii – who is included in this photo – posted handbills around the camp discouraging draft-age men from cooperating. He was accused of sedition in the case United States v. George S. Fujii, though his case did not go to trial, and he was later acquitted.
