The Washington Post publishes first Filipino story 'Paghahanap kay Maura' | New Day

How does one report on events that happened over a century ago? American newspaper The Washington Post thought of doing a graphic novel to tell the story of Filipinos who went to the United States and were put on display at the infamous 1904 Saint Louis World's Fair. Some of these Filipinos, including a girl named Maura, was even part of a so-called "Racial Brain Collection" of an anthropolgist of Smithsonian National Museum. "Paghahanap kay Maura" is Washington Post's first-ever Filipino published story.

To tell us more about this are Filipino American artist Janna Añonuevo Langholz, who brought this whole story to light and visual artist Ren Galeno, who illustrated the novel.
