It took the courage of humanity to take action like Fagen did. If you’ve never heard of this history, it’s not surprising. It’s one that runs counter to America’s white supremacist narrative. I was surprised that even my father, who was born under the American flag in the Philippines a few weeks after the U.S.-Philippine war started, had never heard anything about Fagen. That likely wasn’t taught in his colonized American school, where he learned English well enough to come to America in the 1920s as a colonized American national.
