Filipino American History Month Takeover (Part 3)

October is Filipino American History Month (Part 3)

Tune in from 6 p.m. to midnight for the Filipino American History Month Takeover with KBOO's Pamela Santos (Bread and Roses) and DJ Grimrock (One Two, One Two ZULUUUUU!!!). This night is all about giving voice to largely untold stories of Filipino Americans who have shaped American culture and the course of history. The final stretch closes out with even more hip hop and music from Filipino American artists, past and present.
 
October is recognized as FAHM to honor the first recorded presence of Filipinos in the continental United States. On October 18, 1587, “Luzones Indios” came ashore from the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Esparanza  in Morro Bay, California before America was America.
