Brian's project shines a spotlight on Chinese immigrant labor organizing in New York City’s Chinatown, focusing on garment workers, restaurant employees, and the youth activists who stood alongside them. Immigration history is often presented as a story of individual success or assimilation, with labor struggles within Asian American communities largely absent from the conversation. Even when labor movements are discussed, women workers, in particular, are often overlooked. This project responds to those omissions by showing how bustling Chinatown was a site of collective resistance and survival.
