About this episode

Nicole Salaver honors her uncle Patrick Salaver's legacy as a leader of the Third World Liberation Front and explores the impact of their activism on Asian American identity and education.

Nicole Salaver's uncle, Patrick Salaver, was one of the leaders of the Third World Liberation Front at San Francisco State University in the late 1960s. This movement not only led to the recognition of the term "Asian American," but also brought ethnic studies to colleges nationwide. Pat made a difference in the world as a Filipino civil rights leader, but is largely unknown by the public. Now, Nicole wants to set the record straight and honor her uncle's legacy, while building her own.
