Join author and professor Peter Bacho for a discussion of his book, Uncle Rico’s Encore: Mostly True Stories of Filipino Seattle. Dive into a collection of autobiographical stories detailing the experiences of a Filipino cannery worker in Seattle from the 1950s and 1970s, and learn what it took to forge community amongst the built and human landscapes.

History Café is produced as a partnership between HistoryLink and MOHAI.

ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, email programs@mohai.org two weeks before the program.

Grab some food for thought–Gourmondo at MOHAI remains open until 7pm for every History Café.

If you can’t make it to the museum, tune in live on the MOHAI YouTube channel to virtually attend this event.
