The Merced assembly centers were run by people of the WPA. The WPA is people in the world progress administration or the work project administration. These people in this program were regular unemployed civilians who were in this program to find a job. The people who were Caucasians didn’t do anything and were considered more like supervisors while Japanese Americans actually did all the work that was needed. The Japanese Americans then informally appointed themselves, house managers. They were in charge of organizing daily needs, meditations, and most importantly being mediators between them and their keepers. Although WCCA never approved of such things. WCCA was the wartime civil control administration they were who was supposed to administrate these camps. WCCA tolerated this new form of administration until regular people became too involved then they abolished this form of government and went back to the regular.
