Week of May 18, 2009
News Item: Since 1992, May has been designated as Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month. Initially, President Jimmy Carter had signed a Joint-Resolution in 1978 proclaiming the first ten days of May as Asian Pacific Heritage Week. It eventually became a month-long celebration under George H. W. Bush. This year’s theme is” Lighting the Past, Present and Future,” and honors the “contributions and accomplishments of our nation’s Asian and Pacific Islander citizens, past, present and future.” Visit http://asianpacificheritage.gov for online audio, video, and image collections, and other resources from the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and the National Gallery of Art.
Florida Atlantic University celebrates Asian Pacific American Culture Day on Wednesday, May 20, 2009.
