KPFA talk with Emil De Guzman, Norman Jayo, and Shiree Tang EH)
Date: 8/7/1997Call Number: IH 015Format: CassetteCollection: The International Hotel struggle and the Filipino community
Two radio hosts talk with Emil De Guzman, Norman Jayo and Shiree Tang (on the phone) about the I-Hotel. Issues relate to housing struggles, and gentrification in San Francisco. Emil explains about the hotel previously being a community for bachelor Filipinos unable to marry. Due to immigration laws disallowing Filipina women from entering the country, anti-miscegenation laws disallowed interracial couples. Shiree Tang talks about how the I-hotel was also a home to Asian American leftist organizations such as Kearny Street Workshop and Chinese Progressive Association. The struggle over the I-Hotel was a fight for the community's entitlement to that land. "Paving new roads", the energy of that moment remains through the people, old and young. Norman and Emil explain how gentrification destroyed communities such as Yerba Buena, Tenderloin, and the Fillmore. With no city plan, tenants had no choice but to stay in the hotel and resist all they could. For everyone involved in the struggle, the mission eventually was not to save the hotel, but to show the world that the city was evicting the elderly from their homes.
Informal Conversation with Frank Celada [Part 1] (EH)
Date: 12/1/1997Call Number: IH 017Format: CassetteCollection: The International Hotel struggle and the Filipino community
Estella Habal and Harvey Dong have an informal discussion with Frank Celada over a meal in a restaurant. Celada's family came to United States from the Philippines in 1953. Growing up in the projects of Alameda, his father supported the family as a cook. With the Filipino American community being divided by class, Kearny Street was often looked at as a "rowdy area" that was not for respectable people. Celada got involved in the I-Hotel through his involvement in student activism at Berkeley. The student activist energy at Berkeley was strong and a lot of people wanted to fight for the I-Hotel. Celada reminisces about his activism at Berkeley, and how it led him to become the community liaison with the United Filipino Alliance (UFA) in 1969-70. Talks a lot about group dynamics within the UFA, identifying key players (Mark Batista, Ness Aquino, Tony Ubaldi), and the groups relationship to I-Hotel tenants.
Informal Conversation with Frank Celada [Part 2] (EH)
Date: 12/21/1997Call Number: IH 018Format: CassetteCollection: The International Hotel struggle and the Filipino community
Discussion between Estella Habal, Frank Celada, and Harvey Dong about various student groups and movement building organizations that were involved with the I-Hotel. Focus on the organization AAPA, Asian American Political Alliance. This student organization had connections with the antiwar movement, SNCC and the farm worker movement. All three participants concluded that they got involved with activism due to the third world strike and the I-hotel.
They ended the conversation by discussing some of the failures of the struggle to save the I-Hotel. The inclusion of non-Asians is a point of discussion as well as the lack of support from local Filipinos. Estella then talks about Peter Bacho, who taught at Davis, and said that the radicals and disunity ruined the movement, because each emphasized the flaws, and not the larger picture. Finally, the impact of the FBI's counterintelligence program COINTELPRO is discussed with focus on divisions, attacks and infiltration by the FBI which created disillusion and mistrust.
