Dr. Laura Renee Westbrook wrote an article about Filipino culture and customs in Louisiana, was posted online yesterday, March 31, 2009, by the Louisiana Division of the Arts.
It can be read on the Louisiana Regional Folklife Program Web site at http://www.folklife.uno.edu/. The article is listed in the menu on the left side of the page.
The writer was invited to special events and places of worship, to homes and businesses, participated in interviews, corresponded with people by telephone and e-mail, shared photographs and stories, and was steered in the right direction, even having their spelling corrected, by Filipinos in Louisiana.
The Filipino community in Louisiana, like in all cites and states, is such a special asset. The people who love, and are part of these Flipino communities, have come to mean a great deal to many individuals as well.
