1910 – US public schools covers Luzon. 1920s – first graduating class

no passport, green card
Sell land, livestock to pay for steerage
Send smartest, most resourceful, kid to America to
get a college degree
Worked to survive…and…to send money back to the PI

Anti-Filipino riots, blatant racism, Positively No
Filipinos Allowed
