FILIPINOS PUSH TO RENAME MIDDLE SCHOOL IN HONOR OF FILIPINO AMERICAN HEROES

The community in Union City, California rally together in a march to bring awareness to the renaming of Alvarado Middle School. This school will possibly be renamed after two Filipino-American heroes Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz. It will possibly be the first school in the U.S. be named in honor of Filipinos.

Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz were Filipino-American labor leaders, farm workers, and leaders in the Asian American civil rights movement.
