MAY IS ASIAN/PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month is a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States.  This commemoration originated in 1978 when a joint congressional resolution established Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. In 1992 a law was passed officially designating the entire month of May each year as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.

Visit the Library of Congress web site to learn more about how the contributions of Asian/Pacific Americans have helped make America a strong and free society.  Highlights include: the Chinese in California between 1850 and 1925, Yo-Yo Ma, and the Veterans History Project.  A PDF document titled Asian Reflections on the American Landscape is available on the National Park Service web site.  This document introduces Asian cultural heritage in the United States and describes historic properties related to Asian cultural heritage.
