1978 Poster from the San Francisco Poster Brigade (founded by Rachael Romero), with art protesting the eviction of low-income Filipino and Chinese tenants in Manilatown, SF in support of the long-running struggle against gentrification, featuring residents resisting the demolition of their homes. Quote reads: "The eviction is terrible but it is only a temporary defeat. We will continue to fight for our place in society, this system which oppresses us all has the courts, laws and police but our weapons are much stronger- the people and their righteousness" quote from Felix Ayson, a 79-year-old Filipino who could no longer walk or hear and was one of the last people to leave the I-Hotel / The International Hotel on Kearny Street which was the last part of Manilatown in San Francisco.
