"Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated in May and a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Just like the Black History Month and Women's History Month celebrations, the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month originated from legislation. Congress passed a joint Congressional Resolution in 1978 to commerate Asian American Heritage Week during the first week of May. This date was chosen because two important anniversaries occured during this time, the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in America on May 7, 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. Congress later voted to expand it from a week long to a month long celebration."
