Scope & Content Note:
The full caption for this photograph reads: Poston, Arizona. Evacuees stand in line before the departure station where they are to receive their ration books and bus tickets. After the final plans have been made, boxes packed, and grants picked up, the residents of Poston are at last ready to leave the center. Now that so many of their friends have gone out before them, it is with a feeling of anticipation rather than one of sorrow that the evacuees prepare to leave place which for three years has been home to them.
