Description

Remembering Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes examines the lives of two slain cannery union reformers all the way through the tumultuous Civil Rights Era of the 1970s. Writer Ron Chew was once a close friend of Gene and Silme, and his poignant prologue sets the stage for the story of their political awakening, the events that led to their tragic deaths, and the movement they nurtured. Through memories of friends and family, we learn about the men as second-generation Filipino Americans, as leaders, and as a part of a generation striving to make The usa live as much as its democratic ideals.

The book features a history of Asian labor in the Alaska salmon-canneries written by Gene Viernes. He intended to publish this work to light up the contributions of cannery workers and the noble fight to create a union.

Remembering Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes provides wealthy insight into the roots of Asian American labor organizing and offers inspiration and wisdom for a new wave of activists.
