fuckyeahapihistory: Filipino youths in the SOMA, San Francisco 1990s photo: Liwanag After the passage of the 1965 Immigration Reform Act, many more Filipino immigrants continued to settle in the South of Market. By the early-1970s, the Filipino population reached a critical mass and was able to convince San Francisco and the Federal government to fund programs that would serve the needs of newly arrived immigrants and elderly Filipinos. I’m pretty sure that this photo is from the 1970s, not 90s. Obvious clothing, haircuts, 70s song titles, and Bruce Lee poster. But it’s still a nice photo. And a good reminder of a lot of our parents who came here in or around the 70s.

Filipino youths in the SOMA, San Francisco 1990s photo: Liwanag

After the passage of the 1965 Immigration Reform Act, many more Filipino immigrants continued to settle in the South of Market. By the early-1970s, the Filipino population reached a critical mass and was able to convince San Francisco and the Federal government to fund programs that would serve the needs of newly arrived immigrants and elderly Filipinos.

I’m pretty sure that this photo is from the 1970s, not 90s. Obvious clothing, haircuts, 70s song titles, and Bruce Lee poster.

But it’s still a nice photo. And a good reminder of a lot of our parents who came here in or around the 70s.
