Global Filipino History and Legacy Symposium Festival

Global Filipino History & Legacy (GFHL) looks forward to celebrating, preserving, and amplifying Filipino and Filipino-American voices!
About this Event

Global Filipino History & Legacy (GFHL) is an annual cultural and educational gathering dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and amplifying Filipino history and global impact. Grounded in the belief that Filipino history is global history, GFHL brings together Filipinos and allies across generations and communities to honor a shared legacy of resilience, creativity, and cultural power. Through storytelling, workshops, and community partnerships, the event uplifts overlooked voices, strengthens cultural identity, and creates space for connection, reflection, and collective pride. Launching in Louisiana—particularly New Orleans, the site of the earliest Filipino settlement in North America—GFHL recognizes the region’s deep historical ties to the Filipino diaspora and its shared narratives of colonization, resistance, and community-building. More than a celebration, GFHL is a platform for visibility, solidarity, and action, rooted in values of respect, truth, kapwa, bayanihan, and the belief that the people themselves are the greatest resource.
