Tour Overview

Uncovering the History of Filipinos in America

Despite popular belief, Filipinos are the largest Asian group in the United States. This may seem odd because as you can see there aren't many obvious markers like there are in Chinatown, Korea Town or Little Tokyo. This is because Filipino's blend themselves in. As a result, the contributions of Filipino's has been underrated or even made invisible. This tour unlocks the history of Filipinos in America, their contribution to the military, the united farmers movement and many more.
