Description

Members of the Colunga/Saldivar family gather in what is now called Grand Terrace after Easter Sunday Celebrations in 1951 and play baseball in an empty field. During the 1940s the family called this location "Jap Hill" as it was the place where Japanese citizens were held before being sent to internment camps across the state during World War II.
