October is Filipino American History Month
October is Filipino American History Month, a time to uplift the contributions of Filipino Americans across the generations while continuing to advocate for a just society, according to FANHS.
The month is a nod to centuries-old Filipino roots in North America, recalling the Oct. 18, 1587, arrival of Filipino sailors to present-day Morro Bay, California, per the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
