Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
WHAT IS APAHM?
Asian Pacific American Heritage Month was signed into on October 23, 1992. While the statute recognizes the earliest immigration of Japanese American settlers and the contributions of Chinese "pioneers" who helped to complete the transcontinental railroad, it is also to recognize the "history, concerns, contributions, and achievements of Asian American and Pacific Islanders".
APAHM centers the celebration of AANHPIs contributions, heritage, and lived experiences, including contemporary socio-historical-political issues in the U.S. It also shares recognition with Mental Health Awareness Month. Four events included a focus on "Cultivating Tools for Wellness", an inaugural speech storytelling contest, and two film screenings as part of a new Equity Center series, "Streaming Critical Consciousness" featuring and .
