We are excited to kick off Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month to celebrate the achievements and remember the challenges of Asian and Pacific Islanders living in America. The Asian and Pacific Islander (API) community is comprised of 50 different ethnic groups with over 300 dialects and languages spoken throughout the country. In May, the nation reflects on the contributions this diverse population has made toward creating a more perfect union.
We invite you to attend one of these events celebrating API heritage and please show your support by displaying one of the Zoom virtual backgrounds throughout the month.
Congratulations to this year’s Asian and Pacific Islander Achievers Award winners and finalists.
