Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is a time to honor and celebrate the vibrant cultures, traditions, and contributions of Asian Americans, Pacific Islander Americans, and Native Hawaiian communities. Throughout the month of May, we have the opportunity to recognize the achievements, history, and diversity of individuals with Asian and Pacific Islander backgrounds.
Asian Pacific American Heritage Month traces its roots to 1977 when U.S. Representatives Frank Horton from New York and Norman Mineta from California proposed a resolution to create Asian Pacific Heritage Week, observed annually in early May. This initiative was mirrored by Hawaiian senators Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga in the Senate. The subsequent year saw President Jimmy Carter signing a joint resolution into law, officially establishing the event, and the inaugural celebration occurred in May 1979. Later, in 1992, President George H. W. Bush designated the entire month of May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
As we celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we extend our deepest gratitude to the Asian and Pacific communities who have contributed immensely and are now part of our wonderful country. Their unwavering determination, entrepreneurial spirit, and cultural richness have played a vital role in fostering innovation, economic growth, and diversity. We recognize the countless Asian Pacific-owned businesses that have created jobs, contributed to local communities, and enriched our cultural tapestry.
Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is a time to reflect upon the historical achievements, cultural heritage, and contributions of Asian Americans, Pacific Islander Americans, and Native Hawaiian communities. It serves as a reminder of the importance of inclusivity, diversity, and recognizing the valuable role that every individual plays in our society. Visa Business Plans proudly stands with the Asian Pacific American community and is honored to have played a small part in supporting their entrepreneurial endeavors and witnessing the positive impact they have had on our society.
As we celebrate this month, let us embrace and appreciate the rich tapestry of cultures that shape our nation. Together, we can foster an inclusive society that cherishes the contributions of all its members.
