May is Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month! While initially only federally observed for one week in May, honoring Asian-Pacific American Heritage was expanded to be observed for the entire month of May beginning in 1990. May was designated to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the US on May 7, 1843, as well as the anniversary of the transcontinental railroad's completion on May 10, 1869. A majority of workers who laid tracks for the railroads were Chinese immigrants.*
This month is an opportunity to learn more about the countless Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have shaped and enriched the history of the United States. You can visit the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center online to learn more.
