Did you know that the greater Seattle area is home to the fifth-largest Filipino American population in the US? Most Filipino Americans arrived in the US around the mid-20th century, and faced profound racism and discrimination that can still be observed in the current uptick of hate crimes against AANHPI people. Award-winning author Peter Bacho digs into the Filipino American experience in a new autobiographical essay collection, Uncle Rico's Encore. For this event, he'll be joined by Robert Flor, a Seattle-based poet and playwright.
