Background

-
The collection contains materials documenting the social and political activities of Filipinos and Filipino Americans in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Many of the political documents are in relation to the Anti-Martial Law movement that was formed in protest against Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, and were printed for a 1976 demonstration in Los Angeles, California. Additional documents include pamphlets and informational literature on raising social awareness of the discrimination that Filipinas and Filipinos face in the healthcare industry. The health care related materials oppose licensing exams, permits, and other forms of racist literature printed in order to become a Registered Nurse.
