Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI Heritage Month) is an annual celebration in May that recognizes the historical and cultural contributions of individuals and groups of Asian and Pacific Islander descent to the United States.

#StopAsianHate

Stop Asian Hate appeared in 2021 to denounce the violence targeting Asian American Pacific Islander communities (AAPI) in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. The FBI documented an increase of 70% for reports of anti-Asian hate crimes in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Visit the ACC Library in April to view the AAPI Heritage Month display in collaboration with the Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Employee Affinity Group at ACC.
