Liskow Commemorates Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month

05.06.22 | less than a minute

May is recognized as Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month.  AANHPI Heritage Month recognizes the history, contributions, and achievements of the AANHPI community in the United States.

AANHPI Heritage Month originated in 1978 when Congress passed legislation recognizing a seven-day period in May as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week.  The observance was later expanded to a month in 1990.  Then, in 1992, Congress passed legislation annually designating May as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.  The month of May was chosen for its particular significance. On May 7, 1843, the first Japanese immigrant arrived in the United States and, on May 10, 1869, the transcontinental railroad, which was largely constructed by Chinese immigrants, was completed.

Liskow joins communities across the country in commemorating AANHPI Heritage Month—and in recognizing and celebrating the achievements and contributions of AANHPI individuals.
