Honoring Chinatown’s Garment Workers – Alice Ip poem
In 2023, witnessing the passing of many fellow strong union sisters, Alice Ip wrote a poem in Chinese to honor the Chinatown garment workers:
The Asian American Studies Center acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin, So. Channel Islands) and pay our respects to the honuukvetam (ancestors), ‘ahiihirom (elders), and ‘eyoohiinkem (relatives/relations) past, present, and emerging.
