Before the area was designated as Historic Filipinotown, on June 24, 1995, the nation's largest Filipino American mural, "Gintong Kasaysayan, Gintong Pamana (Filipino Americans: A Glorious History, A Golden legacy)", was unveiled. The mural promotes ethnic solidarity and the fight for historical inclusion of the ‘forgotten’ or ‘invisible’ Filipinos in American history. For example, the mural includes Larry Itliong who challenged young Filipino American activists to organize themselves to fight for equality in the 1960s and fought alongside Cesar Chavez to lead the Delano Grape Strike groups (Kim, 1999). The mural also includes apl.de.ap, who is a hip hop performer, rapper, producer, and composer.
