The city is roughly one-quarter each Hispanic, African American, white, and Asian/ Pacific Islander. This last groups vast majority are Filipinos who settled as early as the 1920s as farmworkers, U.S. military recruits, entrepreneurs, medical professionals, and other laborers, filling the economic needs of the Los Angeles region. This vibrant community hosts fiestas like the Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture and has produced local community heroes, including Uncle Roy Morales and Auntie Helen Summers Brown.
