Filipino Family Histories of the Pajaro Valley 2020 Calendar

This calendar displays a collection of the Filipino Family Histories of the Pajaro Valley, collected and produced by the Tobera Project in 2020. This calendar dedicates one month to a special topic from the Watsonville community, such as the history of the 1930 Watsonville Race Riot, the Filipino Women's Club of Watsonville, and the Song of Pajaro by local Filipino American poet, Jeff Tagami alongside the histories of the Irao-DeLos Reyes, Lopez, Mariano, Taytayon, Tabula, Recio, Tumbaga, Alminiana, Sulay, Madolora families. Many of the marked days in this calendar are relevant to Asian American historical events, such as Philippine Independence Day, International Hotel Eviction Night from 1977, the First Day of the 1965 Delano Grape Strike, and labor leader Larry Itliong Day in California. The stories featured in the calendar are written by descendants of the Pajaro Valley manong and manang generation. The photographs are from family archives.
