Asian / Pacific American Heritage Month

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the United States. The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks on the project were Chinese immigrants.

As reports of anti-Asian hate and violence flood our nation, It is more important than ever that we as a community come together to stand beside our AAPI colleagues and stand against hate.
