This mural project is led by a central committee of SJSU students, alumni, staff, faculty, and Filipino community organizations. Our purpose as a committee is to ensure the stories of our history are properly amplified, preserved, and heard by past, present, and future Spartans and the San Jose community through this permanent mural. 

 

SJSU organizations serving on this committee include:

• Filipino Alumni Network (FAN) SJSU

• AkbayanSJSU

• Center for Asian Pacific Islander Student Empowerment (CAPISE)

• César E. Chávez Community Action Center

• Associated Students

• The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

• The Asian American Studies Department

• Students for Filipino Farmworkers

​

Community organizations serving on this committee include:

• Filipino American National Historical Society of Santa Clara Valley (FANHS-SCV)

• Filipino Youth Coalition (FYC)

• Filipinos Acting in Community Together (FACT SJ)

• Larry Itliong Way Project

• Pinoytown SJ

• Bayani ng Kabataan (BNK), the Filipino American Cultural and Social Justice School

• Malaya South Bay

• The City of San Jose’s Office of Economic Development and Cultural Affairs

With support from the community and University stakeholders, we aim to complete this project and have Filipino Farmworkers and our broader Filipino American history finally represented on SJSU’s campus.
