During Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, we pay tribute to the remarkable leaders who have shaped our nation’s history and continue to inspire us every day. Their contributions are woven into the fabric of America, reflecting the diverse and dynamic essence of our nation.
The story of AANHPI communities is inseparable from the story of America itself. From the earliest days of our nation’s history, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have played vital roles in shaping our culture, economy, and society. Their resilience, courage, and innovation have left an indelible mark on the American landscape.
Throughout history, AANHPI leaders have broken barriers, championed civil rights, and fought for justice and equality. From trailblazers like Dalip Singh Saund, the first Asian American elected to Congress, to modern-day activists and advocates advancing social change, AANHPI individuals have been at the forefront of progress and transformation.
