Before he died in March, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alex Tizon penned an incredible story for The Atlantic detailing his family’s secret slave in America.
The publication’s June cover story describes the complicated life of Lola Pulido, a domestic servant who immigrated from the Philippines with Tizon’s family in 1964.
She lived with and served the family for decades (when Tizon inherited her from his parents in 2001, he insisted on paying her $200 a week and offered to take her back to the country she left) — until she died in 2011.
Tizon’s shocking story describes her inhuman, abusive treatment while serving his parents in America.
