Sponsored By: Representative Meng, Grace [D-NY-6]
Introduced
Summary
Recognizes Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as an occasion to honor the significant contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to U.S. history and culture. The resolution points to May observances tied to dates like the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants on May 7, 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. It highlights the community's diversity, noting more than 70 distinct ethnicities and over 100 language dialects, and cites populations of over 25 million Asian Americans and about 1.8 million Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, together comprising more than 10 percent of the U.S. population. The text also recalls historical injustices and key milestones to frame continued efforts to expand access and political representation.
