Hundreds Thousands of students have benefited from the experience - describing how the program significantly influenced their decolonization process, ethnic identity and pride, cultural connections, community involvement, and decision to be a teacher.

The genesis of the First Young Filipino Peoples’ Far West Convention of 1971 began in the kitchen of Dorothy and Fred Cordova. As Youth Director of Filipino Youth Activities at the time, Dorothy imagined a convening for Filipino American young people. With the help of Anthony Ogilvie and other youth organizers from Seattle, the FWC became a reality in 1971, when hundreds of Filipino American youth came together at Seattle University to talk about issues affecting their communities.

In 1982, Dorothy founded the Filipino American National Historical Society, and Fred served as founding FANHS President. In 1983, Fred published Filipinos: Forgotten Asian Americans. In 1992, FANHS celebrated its first Filipino American History Month (FAHM), and in 2009, U.S. Congress recognized FAHM on the federal level.

Learn more about the FWC from Auntie Dorothy herself today and tomorrow (10/2-10/3) at 3pm PT. Register at tinyurl.com/FWCPanels!
