Encompassing the lineage of the entire Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, Asian Pacific American Heritage month covers a broad spectrum of experience and history in the United States. Originating in 1977, the annual celebration became a month-long event in 1990 and continues to highlight the important contributions Asian and Pacific Islander Americans have make to our culture and history.
