Donor description: Joan May's mother (pregnant with her at the time). Taken at the banquet of the Gran Oriente Filipino at the Palace in San Francisco, California. Joan May's mother and father at a banquet.
Mother immigrated here in 1952 for San Francisco State to study education in order to become a teacher. Joan May was born at Damaron Hospital at Stockton, California one month after this photo was taken. This represents a part of Filipino-American history that isn't often touched upon. You hear of a lot of stories about migrant farmworkers, immigrants, etc. but there was also a long tradition of Filipino organizations hosting banquets and coming together in a formal setting. Joan May has had 5-generation-Christmas's at community events.
