A new park in San Jose, California will be named “Delano Manongs” to honor the Filipino American community in the city.

Delano Manongs Park will be the first park in San Jose to honor Filipino-Americans after the city council unanimously approved the naming during a meeting on Tuesday, April 13, according to CBS News.

Over 1,000 Filipino workers in the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee worked alongside activists Cesar Chavez to organize the strike protesting the poor working conditions and low wages. Some Filipino community leaders were also present in solidarity in condemning the recent hate crimes against the Asian Americans community.
