Trunks found in Stockton reveal artifacts from early 20th-century Filipino sugar workers, showcasing their struggles and contributions in America.
A collection of trunks unearthed in Stockton, California, reveals personal artifacts from early 20th-century Filipino immigrants who worked in Hawaii’s sugar industry and later settled in the San Joaquin Valley’s “Little Manila” community.
The items, including letters, tools, garments, and pay stubs, offer insight into the lives of Filipino farmworkers who endured grueling “stoop labor” and helped fill labor gaps after immigration restrictions targeted other groups.
Now featured in a Smithsonian exhibition, the discovery preserves a vital chapter of Filipino American history and highlights their resilience and contributions.
