Abstract

The article focuses on the efforts of the National Park Service (NPS) to enhance the representation of Filipino American history through various educational initiatives. It highlights the biography of Philip Vera Cruz, a Filipino farmworker and activist, as part of the NPS's "Telling All Americans' Stories" program, which aims to broaden public access to underrepresented histories. The author discusses the development of resources like the "AAPI Theme Guide," designed to make Asian American and Pacific Islander history more accessible to diverse audiences, and reflects on the challenges faced due to political restrictions under the Trump administration. The article concludes with a call to continue sharing these important narratives, regardless of institutional limitations. [Extracted from the article]
