Filipino-American History Day

Today at the Pleasanton Library, there will be a two-hour presentation about the contributions of Filipinos in America. What a great opportunity for everyone to learn about how Filipinos played a role in WWII and the Delano Grape Strike. Enjoy an afternoon educating yourself, and perhaps kids who are old enough to appreciate a little oral history, while refreshments are served. There is no entrance fee. For more information, click here. For more information on how Filipinos impacted our very own community here in the East Bay, check this book out. Images of America has a series of books about the roles Filipino-Americans have played in history.
