Happy FAHM, fam! I’m excited to invite you to an event celebrating Filipino American History Month, where I’ll be performing! We’ll be exploring the power of Asian American activism, including the story of my uncle, Patrick Salaver.
My Uncle Pat was a leader in the Third World Liberation Front at San Francisco State University in the late 1960s—a movement that not only coined the term “Asian American” but also brought ethnic studies to colleges across the nation. Though his legacy as a Filipino civil rights leader is significant, Pat’s story remained largely unknown. Until NPR produced an entire Podcast episode about him this past summer!
AND Now, with the support of KQED, I’m honored to amplify his story, set the record straight, and continue building on his legacy. Here's the info:
📅 Date: This Thursday, October 10th, 2024 at 6:45pm
📍 Location: The Commons, KQED Headquarters
Address: 2601 Mariposa Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
