Did You Know Segment:

DYK: AAPI Heritage Month is celebrated each year in the month of May because it commemorates 2 specific significant events in American history which happened in May. 

First, on May 7, 1843, the first Japanese immigrant arrived in the US. Second, on May 10, 1869, the transcontinental railroad was completed through the labor and sacrifice of nearly 20,000 Chinese laborers. 

The idea of honoring Asian Americans was first introduced to Congress in the late 1970’s by Jeanie Jew, whose great-grandfather was a rail laborer. Jeanie served as a Congressional staffer.

Because of Jeanie, the support she received, and the efforts of many others, every year there is an entire month devoted to AAPI heritage to educate, celebrate, and recognize the inheritance of who we are to our community and to the world.
