Third World Liberation Front: In 1968, the Philippine American Collegiate Endeavor (PACE), a Filipinx American student organization at SFSU, joined forces with the Black Student Union (BSU), the Mexican American Student Confederation (MASC), the Latin American Student Organization (LASO), the Intercollegiate Chinese for Social Action (ICSA), and the Asian American Political Alliance to form the Third World Liberation Front. This coalition fought for ethnic studies in higher education and conducted the longest student strike in U.S. history. This resulted in the creation of the first College of Ethnic Studies as well as expanded college access for people of color.
Let’s celebrate the achievements of Filipinx this month and continue to support their endeavors! 🫶🏽
