Open a larger version of the following image in a popup: Bill Owens, I'm a refugee from China. I sew pockets on pants. Every day I have work, and living here is easy. In China it's hard to find a job. Someone has to recommend you. I don't speak English and I'm too old to learn so I'll never get a better job., 1976
