Happy 1st day of Pilipinx-American Hxstory Month y’all! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 — Why the “x”? The first is a form of resistance to patriarchal society and to shed light on the social injustices Pilipinxs have and currently face. Take a moment, to think about how hxstory was taught in high school that tend to leave out the contributions of Pilipinxs and those who do not minority identify from the telling of “history.” The second reason is to redefine the way “history” was told in educational spaces. We know that “history” has always been retold by those who won, the details, and representations have been skewed in the retelling. The “x” is meant to be an inclusive and progressive term that stands for the many different identities, struggles, and intersectionalities. We hold the “x” as a way to acknowledge our untold hxstories and collectively push forward to reclaim the lost. #PAHM #pilipinx #hxstory #PAHM2017 #FAHM #FAHM2017 (at Unidad Park)
