PHOTOGRAPHER BOOK FEATURE: RICK ROCAMORA
12 TO 1:30 PM
Rick Rocamora, "Filipino WW II Soldiers: America's Second-Class Veterans" (San Francisco Veterans Equity Center with support from San Francisco Foundation, Zellerbach Family Fund, and Tancinco Law Offices). Rick Rocamora has documented the lives of the Filipino veterans, still clinging to hard-won medals, military commendations and scraps of uniforms as they make their way in San Francisco's toughest neighborhoods. Rocamora's deep connection to the veterans allows a rare view into their difficult but always dignified lives, and creates a poignant story of pain, persistence and hope. Rocamora's images have been part of investigative stories on the abuse of veterans in North Richmond, California, Medicare scam in San Francisco that used them, exhibitions in the US Congress and other venues and countless presentations and photo essays about their plight. His images have been part of their struggle and have been credited in inspiring others to advocate for equity for the veterans. A portion of book proceeds goes towards the San Francisco Veterans Equity Center. 10" x10", 86pp, BW duotone illustrations; historical chronology.
