While commemorating a traumatic eviction, a community also seeks inspiration

What this episode covers

Tenants at the International Hotel had successfully resisted an impending eviction for years, but on Aug. 4, 1977, more than 100 residents were evicted all at once. The hotel had been the last holdout of a ten-block stretch of the city that was known as Manilatown. Decades later, senior affordable housing and a community center now occupy the site. People who experienced the eviction firsthand share the story of resistance and activism that defined the fall, and then rise, of the I-Hotel.
