Happy Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! AAPI Heritage Month is an annual celebration held in May that recognizes the historical, and continued, cultural contributions of people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent to the United States.

The effort to officially recognize Asian American and Pacific Islander contributions to the United States began in the late 1970s, and it took over 10 years to make it a permanent month-long celebration. We encourage you to celebrate and learn more about the history and importance of AAPI heritage this month.
