Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The National Archives holds a wealth of material documenting the Asian and Pacific Islander experience, and it highlights these resources online, in programs, and through traditional and social media.
The theme for 2020 is Unite Our Nation by Empowering Equality.
