ROSEBERY UNITED CHURCH KINDERGARTEN

During the confinement of Japanese Canadian people in Rosebery, B.C., the United Church set up a school so that the children could continue their education. Japanese Canadian girls were trained to be teachers and became part of the teaching staff.
Japanese Canadian children were not permitted to attend the public schools.
This is Richard Murakami’s kindergarten class. He is fourth from the right in the middle row.
