Care Package: Poems, meditations, films, and other cultural nutrients for times like this.
Curated with love by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center.
Care Package is a collection of creative offerings by artists, writers, and scholars who we have collaborated with in recent years. Here, you will find a range of approaches to addressing uncertainty, anxiety, and grief through vision, reflection, and healing. Most have been exhibited in past programs, but have never been made widely accessible until now.
Queer Elders
During the last forty years, we've seen huge strides in visibility within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer communities, but how many of those stories lift up the Asian Pacific American experience? In this series of short films, four APA elders share their experiences and thoughts about celebrating the past, what shifts brought us to today, and what the future holds.

US Census - Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Fun Facts
Congress in 1978 passed a resolution creating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week. It expanded the observance to a month (May) in 1992, timed to coincide with two important milestones in Asian/Pacific American history: arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in the United States (May 7, 1843) and completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869 (the majority of workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants).
