The month of May is designated to recognize the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. The AAPI community is part of the diverse fabric of our nation. Its contributions, resilience and compassion are especially noteworthy in this challenging time during the coronavirus pandemic. To honor the AAPI Heritage Month, CAPA-HC launched an on-line celebration which includes a series of virtual activities and events.
As a conclusion of the celebration, CAPA-HC created a video featuring Howard County elected officials, government agencies, HCPSS school officials, non-profit organizations and community leaders recognizing the contribution of the local AAPI community.
We are very grateful that we have received huge support and great responses which made this initiative such a successful event.
