On April 9, 2009, Images of America, Los Angeles' Historic Filipinotown will be released, the work of Carina Monica Montoya. She started by collecting photos, and now they are valuable recordings of history.
She has also authored other books, Filipinos in Hollywood, and a series of children's cookbooks, which incorporate Philippines history and food, like the origins of adobo and the strong Spanish influence on it.
Ms. Montoya is a great example of someone who realizes the importance of recording and disseminating ethnic history, and found a way to do just that.
