About This Virtual Display

Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is held each May to recognize the contributions of Asian Americans to the history and achievements of the United States. A rather broad term, Asian/Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

Together, let’s celebrate the accomplishments of Asian Americans, and thank them for paving a path for future generations.
