This month, we recognize the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. We’ll explore Pacific Island culture and trace the lives of sculptor Isamu Noguchi, chef Tu David Phu, and “The Donut King” Ted Ngoy. We’ll also learn the story of a group of Japanese Americans and their mass incarceration by the U.S. government. Join us all month long as we examine the impact of Asian Americans on our country’s past, present, and future.
