Abstract

Sound recording of interview with Sue Ko Lee conducted by Judy Yung. Sue Ko Lee was a participant in the 1938 National Dollar Stores garment worker strike. This strike was the first labor organizing in San Francisco's Chinatown, eventually breaking the colorline that had kept Chinese workers from jobs outside Chinatown. Lee later became the first Chinese American business agent in the garment worker union.
