Tobera Project

Description

The Tobera Project was formed by grassroots organizer Dioscoro “Roy” Recio, Jr. in 2020. The project honors Fermin Tobera and educates the public on the struggles and triumphs of the manong generation. The project is dedicated to upholding and memorializing the Filipino immigrant experience in the Pajaro Valley. In late 2020, the Tobera Project partnered with UC Santa Cruz to create the Watsonville is in the Heart, a community archive and research initiative. This collection holds the calendars of the Tobera Project which commemorates the family histories of the descendants of the manong and the manang. Each month features a summary of the family history, an event, a location, or a special person to the Watsonville Filipino community.
