Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month traces its roots back to 1977, when Representatives Frank Horton and Norman Y. Mineta introduced a resolution to designate the first ten days of May as Asian-Pacific Heritage Week. This initial recognition aimed to honor the contributions of early Japanese immigrants and Chinese workers who helped build the transcontinental railroad. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush expanded the celebration to a month-long observance, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Throughout May, communities nationwide organize various events and programs to commemorate AAPI history and promote cross-cultural understanding.
