Dr. Rodriguez's Fight for Filipino-American History
Description
Dr. Robyn Magalit Rodriguez, a dedicated historian, founded the Welga Archive and the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at UC Davis, the first of its kind. The center, focused on Filipino-American history, received a significant grant in 2019, but faced funding challenges. After her sons passing in 2020, Dr. Rodriguez left the university and established the Amado Khaya Foundation, now operating as the Amado Khaya Filipino American & Diaspora Archive & Library. Despite lacking university support, the foundation continues to provide essential resources for teaching Filipino-American history, as comprehensive materials remain scarce in Californias public education system. Dr. Rodriguez remains committed to advocating for the recognition and inclusion of Filipino-American narratives in historical narratives.
