Today’s October 1st!
Not only is it the start of a new month, but it’s also the start of Filipino-American History Month! And the Filipino-American National Historical Society Metro NY Chapter couldn’t be more excited at some of the events and social media campaigns that are occurring through the month!
FANHS National has set the official theme as
