In this video, I compare the historical treatment of Filipinos in the Navy to our modern experiences. The trend has certainly been positive. Filipino-Americans today are deeply appreciative of the opportunities available to us, but we also realize that there's still plenty of room for improvement. This digital story is, in part, a tribute to the Stewards who had gone before me and my peers. It also bears a message of hope for the future.
Admittedly, the video a short study into a very broad subject. There are literally thousands of parallel success stories in the fleet, other branches of the uniformed services, and the United States in general. But this video should serve as a good starting point for those unfamiliar with historical and modern Filipino narratives in the Navy. With your help and a little more work, I intend to submit this work to the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) for their consideration and collection.
This video was produced for Dr. Schrum's postgraduate Digital Storytelling course (HIST688/HE792) offered at George Mason University in Spring 2021.
