Let’s talk about this day in history - October 18, 1587 - 434 years ago.
Many people might know that this is why we celebrate Filipino American History Month in October, but many might not know what actually happened on that day.

I humbly offer this history lesson, as most of us may not have ever gotten it. I also humbly offer the idea of commemorating this day in history, but not celebrating it.

October is Filipino American HISTORY Month, NOT Filipino American Heritage Month. The distinction is important!
Created by @fanhs_national in 1991, #FAHM was always intended to be HISTORY Month. Not sure when/why people renamed something that wasn’t theirs to change.

History is political; it means acknowledging the truths of a time period. It involves honoring people and the struggles they overcame. It means acknowledging violence, colonization, slavery, and oppression. It means recognizing the triumphs AND the traumas of a people. #FAHM2021
Heritage is about the cultural traditions & values of an ethnic group. For Filipino Americans, heritage implies customs from the Philippines (e.g., food, dance, language, dress, music). While these are all amazing things to take pride in, heritage is not why we celebrate #FAHM
