The Men who Fed America: A StoryCorps Animation about Larry Itliong

We have talked previously about Johnny Itliong’s StoryCorp recording about his father, the labor leader Larry Itliong, but I thought that the best way to mark the start of Filipino American History Month would be to share this new StoryCorps animation of that recording called “The Men Who Fed America.” The animation accentuates the impoverished living conditions of those Filipino American farm workers and the poignancy and sadness of how they died.

Other StoryCorps animations about AAPIs that you should check out are Lola’s Work, The Last Viewing, and No More Questions.
