#FromTheArchives During the International Hotel Struggle, artists produced creative work to highlight and bolster their fight against gentrification. Here's one poster of "Supermanong," a superman-type figure determined to protect the residents of the I-Hotel. "Manong" is a term of respect for elderly Filipinx folks. Artist unknown.

[Image Description: A muscular, elderly Superman figure holding a flag that says "Peace with a lease." He is riding a tiger. Bottom left text says "This dude can be really destructive if you try to force old people out on the streets." Bottom right text says "Not a day goes by when Supermanong doesn't use the magic energizing power of his fists to save the poor and needy, no matter who the enemy is." The text is in black and the poster looks like something from a comic book.]
