Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders helped construct the framework of our economy by building the transcontinental railroad, logging forests in the Northwest, and working in fisheries and factories, among many other vital contributions. Their pivotal work continues today. Please join us in delving deeper into the complex and important AAPI history that has gone unrecognized in our country for far too long. We encourage you to visit these amazing museums, check out these works of literature, or tune in to these podcasts--all of which are helping to bring the rich AAPI story to light.
