We produced, preserved, and disseminated knowledge about the Filipinx experience in the United States and the broader diaspora. Our research and education programs were driven by our close partnerships with community-based organizations.

If Carlos Bulosan served as a model for Filipino activism in the early 20th century, I believe Amado Khaya serves as a model for Filipinx activist in the 21st. Thus, the Amado Khaya Initiative feels like an especially ideal site to re-plant the seeds cultivated in the Bulosan Center.
