Filipino-American Protest
Title
Filipino-American Protest
Description
The photo shows two banners behind two protesters during a Filipino American demonstration in New York City.
One partially obscured banner appears to include the name “Damayan” and the phrase “Slavery Exists in N.Y.!,” suggesting a critique of exploitative migrant labor conditions. The other banner appears to be affiliated with BAYAN and references the Philippine-American War, reading: “Condemn the U.S. [for murdering] 50,000 Filipinos, 1899–1902.”
