Panalo: Forgotten Filipinos (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249476342)

Panalo is not a story invented from imagination. It is born from history-American history-that has been silenced, buried, or erased from the textbooks.

In January 1930, in Watsonville, California, mobs of white men dragged Filipinos from their homes and bunkhouses, beating them in the streets and terrorizing entire neighborhoods. Fermin Tobera, only twenty-two years old, was shot and killed as he hid from the violence. His name should be remembered alongside America's victims of racial hatred, yet too often, it is not.
