Gene May, 1470 WLAM Lewiston | August 2, 1980

Contributor Bob Gilmore recorded this himself, he said while driving from Augusta through Lewiston. There are a few spots with electrical noise consistent with electric light poles nearby, and small dropouts where he may have been driving under a bridge, otherwise this is a good quality recording of “Musicradio 1470“. Note the JAM jingles, same ones used at WABC New York in the late 1970s. This…

Cannery workers were primarily men who worked in canning fresh Salmon. Many Filipino male immigrants worked in the canneries. I did not know much about this history until now. I also did not know that Chinatown then used to be bustling with Filipino community in the 1920s and 1930s on 6th Ave. and King St., right here in Chinatown-International District.

I find myself blurting knowledge to my friends and family nowadays because I frequent this district often when I am not here at the Wing. I'm fascinated to know the history of every storefront now, whether now abandoned or still thriving. 

Today I finally had a chance to watch the interview of Uncle Jimmy that plays on the TV inside of the Yick Fung Co. store front that is part of our historic tour. I also watched the videos that play in each of the rooms that are open for exhibit during that tour in the historic Freeman Hotel. 

I love learning the history of APIAs in Seattle/Washington. It's so important to know who came before us and how their stories are connected to us and the current social climate of immigration today.

I learned the other day when touring a predominantly Euro-American group of 12-14 year old students, that these youth bypass the Asian American history all together in their school system in which they find Asian American and Asia to be one in the same. I took it as my duty on this tour to inform them the different cultures and the fact that each Asian culture is different and the creation of a new American culture. I then realized that my "Asian American culture" which I know may be something totally different when one Chinese American student on my tour began discussing that for him, he would rather ride off any Asian and fully claim herself to be American. The other Chinese American youth in my group, being a girl, claimed that her closest realtion to Asia is that of manga and anime and nothing else. I looked at this and wondered about my own identity. Just thinking about this, what does it mean to be "Asian American"?
