Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month runs every May, honoring AANHPI cultures, histories, and contributions across the United States. Universities and local governments are marking the month with campus events, resource lists, and curated AANHPI book recommendations; Cal State Los Angeles promoted campus celebrations while UT Dallas highlighted AAPI stories through library programming. State officials and organizations are spotlighting concrete contributions, noting AANHPI roles in Minnesota agriculture and the growing AANHPI populations strengthening Massachusetts communities. The observance gives people clear opportunities to read, attend events, and recognize the cultural and economic impact of AANHPI communities nationwide.
