Celebrate Filipino American History Month at Topaz Arts

Filipinos have been on the Continental U.S. for the last 430 years when sailors from the Philippines landed in Morro Bay in California. Spearheaded by the Filipino American Historical Society (FANHS), Filipino American History Month was passed by resolution in the US Congress in 2009.
