“Together We Are More”: Celebrating AANHPI Heritage and Collective Power
“Together We Are More”: Celebrating AANHPI Heritage and Collective Power
In celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month and TAAF’s fourth annual Heritage Month Summit, “Together We Are More,” this special bookshelf features K–12 resources that honor the rich histories, diverse cultures, and enduring contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. Students will explore key moments in AANHPI history—from the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants and the Chinese laborers who built the Transcontinental Railroad, to the significance of ‘Iolani Palace as a symbol of Native Hawaiian sovereignty and the birth of the term “Asian American” during the rise of the Black Power and anti-Vietnam War movements. These materials highlight themes of migration, labor, activism, identity, and community, and reflect the collective power of our stories—because together, we are more.
