One of Carson's most distinct features is its diversity. The city is roughly one-quarter each Hispanic, African American, white, and Asian/ Pacific Islander. This last group's vast majority are Filipinos who settled as early as the 1920s as farmworkers, U.S. military recruits, entrepreneurs, medical professionals, and other laborers, filling the economic needs of the Los Angeles region. This vibrant community hosts fiestas like the Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture and has produced local community heroes, including "Uncle Roy" Morales and "Auntie Helen" Summers Brown. Filipino students of the 1970s organized to gain college admissions, establish ethnic studies, and foster civic leadership, while Filipino businesses have flourished in Carson, San Pedro, Wilmington, Long Beach, and the surrounding communities. Carson is recognized nationally as a Filipino American destination for families and businesses, very much connected to the island homeland.

Filipinos in Carson and the South Bay, California (Images of America Series)
3.5 stars.
Good collection of photos of Filipinos in the Carson and South Bay areas of Southern California. There is a lot of terrific Filipino American history within these pages, from the early Filipino workers (manongs) to today's community leaders. The photos are interesting, but it's the captions that are worth the cover price alone: from the rise of Filipino civic organizations to the creation of college-level Filipino American studies classes, authors Florante Peter Ibanez and Roselyn Estepa Ibanez have done a wonderful job of providing an overview of the Filipino American experience.
