It would\u2019ve been hard to imagine Stockton as the heart of Filipino America in the early 20th century. But it was for a time, before new development and the construction of the Crosstown Freeway swept remaining tenants, businesses, and SRO hotels into the corners of history.<\/p>\n

By 1999, city officials demolished one of the last remaining blocks of Stockton\u2019s Little Manila neighborhood to make way for a McDonald\u2019s restaurant and 76 gas station. The neighborhood, once home to the largest population of Filipinos outside the Philippines, soon dwindled to three buildings, which now make up the Little Manila Historic Site. It\u2019s become a remnant of the early Filipino American story, a story that late historian and educator Dr. Dawn Mabalon devoted her life\u2019s work to uncovering and preserving.<\/p>\n

Though she died of an asthma attack while vacationing in Hawaii in 2018, just shy of her 46th birthday, Mabalon was a key component in the historic preservation of Stockton\u2019s Little Manila, having co-founded the Little Manila Foundation alongside Dillon Delvo, and in 2013, published \u201cLittle Manila is in the Heart: The Making of the Filipina\/o American Community in Stockton, California.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is my hope that the love, respect, and commitment we feel for our historic community runs deeper than anything that can divide us. Little Manila will always be in our hearts,\u201d reads one passage from her book.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 11, SOMArts Cultural Center will host its annual D\u00eda de los Muertos exhibition, honoring the people, places and social movements that have shaped the San Francisco community. Curated by Rio Ya\u00f1ez and Carolina Quintanilla, the show will feature traditional and contemporary altars to manifest founding curator Rene Ya\u00f1ez\u2019s vision for his final D\u00eda de los Muertos exhibition, titled \u201cCity of Souls,\u201d which is dedicated to Mabalon and the children who have passed away while in ICE custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe profound levity of her work was something we were excited to celebrate and honor with the show,\u201d Ya\u00f1ez said. \u201cI saw a lot of parallels between the work my dad put into the Mission and the love he had for this community, and identifying that to Dawn\u2019s dedication to Stockton and to documenting the history there. I felt a kinship towards that.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the help of her sister Darleen Mabalon, her husband Jesse Gonzales and close friend Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, along with contributions from family, friends and community members, exhibiting artists Kimberely Arteche, Terry Bautista, and Dara Katrina Del Rosario, they created an altar celebrating Mabalon\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking on this project has helped me know her a lot better in a lot of ways. It also makes the project kind of difficult because she was such a multifaceted person,\u201d Arteche said. \u201cShe was such an incredible force from her academic and activist work, but she was also an incredible friend, incredible sister, godmother, and auntie to all of these people who were impacted by who she was as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

An associate professor with tenure at San Francisco State University, Mabalon\u2019s influence within and beyond the history department was evident. She was an advisory member of the Manilatown Heritage Foundation based in San Francisco and served as an important board member of various organizations including the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS), Pin@y Educational Partnerships (PEP), and Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation (APIAHiP).<\/p>\n

Throughout her academic career, Mabalon was committed to chronicling the struggles and sacrifices of Filipino Americans that were often diminished to a footnote in California and U.S. history.<\/p>\n

Her book \u201cJourney for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong,\u201d written with Gayle Romasanta and illustrated by Andre Sibayan, is the first children\u2019s book about Filipino American history and the first about Modesto \u201cLarry\u201d Itliong, a Stockton organizer and co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW).<\/p>\n

In 1965, Itliong helped organize the Delano Grape Strike, demanding workers be paid the federal minimum wage, better working conditions and the right to form a union. He was no stranger to racial and economic oppression in the fields as growers often kept ethnic groups separated to crush labor actions. The strike lasted five years and became one of the most significant social justice and economic movements in American history.<\/p>\n

The contributions of Itliong and Filipino migrants are not widely known, even among the Filipino-American community.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandparents were farm workers,\u201d Mabalon once told KQED Public Radio. \u201cMy dad was a farm worker. He knew Larry Itliong. And I didn\u2019t even know who Larry Itliong was until I went to college. Now I\u2019m going to cry. Now I\u2019m crying. You know, what a tragedy. I knew who Cesar Chavez was. We had a Cesar Chavez Library. But, you know, I think it\u2019s such a tragedy that so many young Filipino Americans grew up without knowing the central, pivotal role that we\u2019ve played in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mabalon \u201cfelt the hurt of a generation\u201d but believed it is one\u2019s responsibility to continue the work of their ancestors and tell their stories. Throughout her life and academic career, she collected oral histories, newspaper clippings and photographs, treasuring anything and everything that those before her left behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cDawn was at every fight, fighting for the narratives of the people who made this city and whose stories aren\u2019t being told,\u201d Arteche said. \u201cI think the biggest thing that she would want everyone to learn from her work is that our Filipino American history starts with our family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bautista, who first met Mabalon at a FANHS conference in 2000, emphasizes the need to organize and develop young leaders like Mabalon in order to overcome the injustices, past and present, that continually impact marginalized communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can\u2019t inspire younger leadership then it\u2019s going to be an upward battle,\u201d Bautista said. \u201cWe have to strategize and learn from the past of what works, what doesn\u2019t work. Sometimes you don\u2019t win. Sometimes we\u2019ll lose battles but we just have to keep trying or we\u2019ll become invisible again.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Dawn, Filipino American history is not just California history but American history. Her passion for social justice and rightful recognition of her community contributed to the reinforcement in curriculum that Filipinos do have a voice and place in history.<\/p>\n

\u201cDawn\u2019s life of organizing and activism was an inspiration. We mourn because of a loss, but we celebrate because of the memory,\u201d Bautista said.<\/p>\n

In the last statement she made before her passing, Mabalon wrote, \u201cI am a historian dedicated to building bridges between the communities about whom I write (Filipino Americans, Asian Americans, immigrants, workers) and the academy. I have devoted my life\u2019s work to sharing the stories of people and communities at the margins of the American story\u2026With the humanities and history disciplines under attack, there is no better time to strengthen the work we do as professional historians.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCity of Souls: D\u00eda de los Muertos 2019\u201d is on display now at the SOMArts until Nov. 8. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, 12 p.m. \u2013 7 p.m. and Saturday 12 p.m. \u2013 5 p.m. Admission is free during gallery hours.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
