Friend, Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! During the month of May, we celebrate the countless ways people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent have contributed to our communities and our culture. We also highlight their necessary activism against bigotry and hate as violent incidents against AAPI people have increased in America during the COVID-19 pandemic. These attacks are just the latest in a series of discriminatory and unjust actions that have targeted U.S. AAPI communities for centuries. This year, we’re observing AAPI History Month by spotlighting leaders and influencers who work toward strengthening immigrant justice, union power, community unity, race-conscious college admissions, equality, voting rights, civic equity, cultural pride, truth-telling and even joy attained through the arts. You can join our #AAPIHistoryMonth celebration on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Or, view the complete list of trailblazing Asian and Pacific Islanders who have made a lasting impact here.
Sincerely, Your friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center P.S. In case you missed it, check out the modern-day history makers we honored during Black History Month and Women’s History Month.
