Color silent amateur footage (1940's-early 1950's) taken by Terminal Island resident Ben Fukuzaki, primarily of the Japanese American community in and around Fish Harbor, Terminal Island, and San Pedro, California.

This segment (02:30) shows footage of the 1940 Rose Bowl football game in Pasadena, California, in which the University of Southern California Trojans defeated the University of Tennessee Volunteers, 14-0; the teams run onto the field; views of the crowds, marching bands, and the scoreboard; footage of scrimmages between the Trojans and Volunteers; and the card section during the half-time performance.
