Throughout this experience consider the 3 Ys:
1. Why might this glimpse into the history and experiences of Filipinos/Filipino-Americans in the United States matter to me?
2. Why might it matter to people around (family, friends, fellow students, community)
3. What might it matter to the world?
Additionally how were the early depictions of Filipinos as savages uncivilized affected our collective ideas about Filipinos/Filipino-Americans today?
