Senate Passes Filipino American History Month Resolution Along with Djibril Diop from State Senator Leland Yee's office, I have been working on Senate Concurrent Resolution 48, which would officially designate October 2009 and each October thereafter, as Filipino American History Month. I was appointed by Dr. Fred Cordova as the official point-personfrom the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) to help write and move this legislation along. Dozens of organizations have already sent in letters of support to Sen. Leland Yee's office. Due to the hard work of everyone involved, the Senate passed SCR 48 unanimously. Now on to the Assembly. Click on the SCR 48 to read the Resolution and Yee PR to read the press release announcing its passage. |
