Filipino American history has had instances of struggle, solidarity, and resilience. Struggle refers to the systemic oppression and violence that the Filipino American community has faced, including discriminatory laws and hateful violence based on race, ethnicity, and other identities. Solidarity describes how Filipino Americans have organized to fight against injustice within their communities and alongside other racial and ethnic groups. Resilience demonstrates the success of Filipino Americans in overcoming adversity throughout history despite the systemic and interpersonal obstacles they have endured.
Let’s celebrate together!
