The month of May is identified as Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month to commemorate the beginning of Japanese immigration to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869, made possible by Chinese immigrant railroad workers. The month of May is a time to reflect and celebrate the important role AANHPIs have played in our shared history.
