Through a hundred photo murals and images, the social history and the development of the Filipino community in the United States are vividly portrayed.<\/p>\n<p>Dean Alegado, associate professor and chair of the Ethnic Studies Department at the University of Hawai\u2018i at Manoa, curated this exhibition.<\/p>\n<p><em>Singgalot<\/em> is now available to travel through Spring 2012.
