July 2008
PEP,
including an enthusiastic contingent of 10 teachers, recently attended
the bi-annual 2008 Filipino American National Historical Society
Conference in Anchorage, Alaska this past July 3-5, 2008. Several
hundred attendees came from across the country to "share their
knowledge, wisdom, and experiences, showcasing Pinoy history in tones
and colors which ignite our imaginations and inspire future
generations." PEP held two workshops, including one on the PEP
Sourcebook Series at a plenary session. The teachers represented not
only the program itself, but the youth activism and leadership of the
next generation of the national Filipino American educational community.
