May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month

A  celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States! Like most commemorative months, Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month originated with Congress - in 1992, Congress passed Public Law 102-450, which annually designated May as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month. The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.
