Artifact Overview
This seemingly innocuous photograph was taken to support an article in The Dearborn Independent attacking Japanese farmers' supposed control of the fruit-growing industry in California. Comments on the back expose its true purpose. Harry H. Dunn, a freelance writer, penned the article. With the support of the paper's editors, he also wrote some of the defamatory anti-Jewish articles for Henry Ford's weekly.
