Explore the diverse work experiences and social challenges of Cannery workers from around the world in Cannery Stories.
Early cannery workers faced discrimination based on race and gender inside and outside of the canneries. These workers fought that discrimination through various means, including letter writing, suing the government, volunteering in their communities, and acting as allies.
