About this portrait

Please visit the California Revealed website to see the most complete and up-to-date version of this object: https://californiarevealed.org/node/548797. Centered around growing Samoan American communities across Carson, CA, throughout the 1970s to 1980s, these photographs paint an intimate portrait of a unique Southern California community, grounded by their strong family values and spiritual practices. Detailing the mundane lives of Samoans in Carson, this collection serves as a capsule of Samoan American history during the booming migration to Los Angeles amidst the Vietnam War. Photographs here show snapshots from the lives of families, youth, and community members in the Long Beach-Carson area. (Samoan Historical Photographs - Samoan Family Album) This photo depicts people gathered around the food and grill at the church cookout.
