Phillipines-U.S. relations : "Thinking of 100 Years: Historical Notes From Filipino
Americans in Ann Arbor" was at the Ann Arbor District Library on S. Fifth
Ave. July 11-31. The intention of this exhibit was to participate in the celebration of
the 100-year anniversary of the Declaration of Philippine Independence from Spain. Various
historical and cultural objects were exhibited in order to "reflect how individuals
from the local community could think about a hundred years of history." The District
Library's multi-purpose room was used for a series of lectures on Saturday afternoons in
conjunction with this event. http://www.umich.edu/~urecord/9798/Jun24_98/brief.htm June 19, 2000 - Francisco Nemenzo, President,

further reading in the country's literature." http://www.umich.edu/~iinet/csseas/newsletter/SepOct1995.html WINTER '02 : PHILIPPINE STUDIES
