I-Hotel graphic

Protesters link arms in front of the International Hotel, Aug. 4, 1977. Photo by Nancy Wong, licensed CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=26624067. Inset: Jeanette Lazam leaving the I-Hotel with tenant leader Wahat Tampao, Aug. 4, 1977.

Horizontal sepia-toned photo. Rows of people with linked arms standing close together in the street; it’s night, only the front row is clearly visible. Signs on buildings in English and Chinese. Above the crowd, the marquee reads “International Hotel.” Inset on left, a color photo of a young Filipino woman in overalls, her arm around the shoulder of an older Filipino man in a flannel shirt. Both are looking down somberly.
