Brothers of the Pacific tells the little-known story of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos and Filipino Americans who served in the U.S. armed forces from 1898 to the present. Highlighting several MHS collections of published writings and private correspondence, this talk explores the relationship between military service, immigration policy, and civil rights in modern American history.
