Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month - May 2024
May is rich in reasons to celebrate, including Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, an annual tribute to the cultural and historical contributions of Asians and Pacific Islanders to the diverse tapestry of the United States. In common with the other commemorative months, the yearly celebration originated in Congress. In 1992, Congress passed Public Law 102-450, which designated May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
