To celebrate Filipino American History Month in October, OACC will display “Building Community in Action” a 100-year timeline of Filipinos in U.S. history. This year’s celebration will pay tribute to Oakland Chinatown agencies that can trace their origins to the Third World Strikes on local college campuses to establish Ethnic Studies in 1969. Enjoy vintage posters, agency artifacts, and photos highlighting Filipino engagement as staff, board members, and volunteers in advocating and delivering essential services.

Co-sponsored by Oakland Asian Cultural Center, Filipino Advocates for Justice, SF FANHS Bay Area Consortium, UC Berkeley PAA Alumni Chapter, and Philippine American Writers Association.
