Let's celebrate Mother's Day with Manilatown @ Maritime!
A national park by Fisherman's Wharf might not be the most obvious destination for people seeking connections to Filipino and Filipino American history. Yet San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park is rich with resources that speak to the heritage of the second-largest Asian-American population in the Bay Area and California. Join Park Ranger Sabrina Oliveros for an overview of these resources. These include exhibits that reflect the age of Manila galleons and the industry of Manila rope collections that tell of 20th-century American colonization and Philippine immigration and historic ships that root people in the experiences of first-generation manongs from Carlos Bulosan to Larry Itliong.
Please join the Manilatown Heritage Foundation for an afternoon of family-friendly education. And then after the talk you'll be in one of San Francisco's liveliest neighborhoods for outdoor fun and fabulous food with Mom!
