Indigo Child explores the effects of historical injustice on individuals - but now that we know, what can we do about it? On March 17th, come and watch CPS Co-Chair Dr. Patricia Halagao in conversation with Dr. Raymund Liongson for a pre-show talk story on "Learning and Taking Action Around Unjust Histories". Join us for a fruitful discussion on how they have used education as a tool for the youth to understand Filipino and Filipino-American history and connecting it to community sharing, advocacy, and organizing here in Hawaiʻi.
