Poet, writer and community advocate Al Robles passed away May 2, 2009 at the age of 79
He leaves behind a lifetime of work helping the poor, the elderly, his community, and a legacy that will be honored by generations to come.
Robles was involved in the International Hotel struggle in San Francisco in the 70's.
In 1977, the decade long fight would result in the eviction of many elderly, low-income Filipino Americans, dismantling the last enclave of San Francisco's historic Manilatown - a day of reckoning for Filipino-American civil rights history.
Robles, affectionately called Manong Al, never gave up helping his community. The I-Hotel was rebuilt in 2005 by the Manilatown Heritage Foundation.
Memorial Services to celebrate Al Robles Life and Journey are planned in San Francisco May 15 and May 17 - see article for details. Read More...
