Abstract

The article focuses on the history and contributions of the Filipino American community in Hampton Roads, Virginia, particularly through their service in the U.S. Navy. It traces the presence of Filipinos in the area from the Civil War era, highlighting significant events such as the 1907 Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition and the impact of various laws, including "Jim Crow" and anti-miscegenation laws, on their lives. The narrative includes personal stories of families like the Nerys and Ramirezes, illustrating the challenges they faced and their eventual integration into American society. By the early 21st century, the Filipino American community had become a vital part of Hampton Roads, significantly contributing to its cultural and economic landscape. [Extracted from the article]
