$1+ Billion Recovered

SUMMARY

Every May we take extra time to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Heritage Month by shining a light on AA and NHPI experiences and paying tribute to the generations of AA and NHPI who have enriched America’s history and are instrumental in its future success. Although today marks the last day of AA and NHPI’s heritage month, we continue to learn and celebrate the light and love in our diverse AA and NHPI communities. We must also unite to expand our understanding of racism and xenophobia to be true allies. We continue to stand up against violence and rhetoric against Asians, Asian-Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. When we are honest about the past, we can begin to heal from the wounds of hate and in doing so, make a better future together. 

Some recommended influential Asian American and Pacific Islander Authors: Cathy Park Hong “Minor Feelings,” Ocean Vuong “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous,” Amy Tan “The Joy Luck Club,” Viet Thanh Nguyen “They Sympathizer,” Jhumpa Lahiri “The Interpreter of Maladies.”
