May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in New York City and across the nation.
In 1990, the U.S. government designated May as being AAPI Heritage Month to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islanders’ contributions, influence, and achievements in the country.
It’s a time to celebrate and honor the contributions Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans have made to America’s history, society and culture.
According to the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are one of the fastest growing groups in the United States, with over 23 million people by the latest count.
