There's more than historical duty in reflecting on nearly a century of discrimination against the Filipino-Americans who helped transform the Salinas Valley into an agricultural powerhouse. This compelling exhibition collects dynamic stories and cultural artifacts to tell the still-evolving tale of who Filipino-Americans are and their role in local history and contemporary life. We've come a long way since tensions boiled over into riots and the death of a Filipino worker in Watsonville in 1930, but the documentation showing the evolution since then tells a powerful story that's bigger than any single ethnic group.
