About Agbayani Village:
Established to provide housing for single Filipino farm workers, Agbayani Village was a project of the United Farm Workers (UFW) with support from labor organizations and students across California. These brave workers were key in the historic agricultural labor movement, starting with the 1965 strike led by the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) and later joining forces with Cesar Chavez to form the UFW.

The FANHS Sacramento-Delta Chapter visited the FANHS Museum located in downtown Stockton, California.  The FANHS Museum showcases the contributions that Filipinos have made to the United States.  Their first recorded landing in 1597 in Morro Bay, California, begins a long legacy in this country.

The City of Stockton was chosen as the site the Filipino-American National Historical Society Museum (aka FANHS Museum) in 1994 because of Stockton's significance in Filipino-American history from the 1920s to the 1960s.

The visit to the chapter was very delightful, the docents were informative and the displays were just beautiful.  A video sponsored by FANHS and AARP was shared which depicted the journey of Filipino-Americans.  

The FANHS Museum's plan is to move its location in the near future.  Donations are always welcome!
