As we close out AAPI Heritage Month, the students of Cardozo EC had the opportunity to learn more about the history, cultures, and contributions of Asian American and Pacific
Islander communities.
A few facts we learned:
✨ Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders represent more than 50 ethnic groups and speak over 100 languages.
✨ Filipino American labor leader Larry Itliong helped organize the Delano Grape Strike, a pivotal moment in U.S. labor history.
✨ Architect I.M. Pei designed some of the world’s most recognizable buildings, including the glass pyramid at the Louvre.
✨ AAPI communities have made lasting contributions to science, technology, art, education, and public service.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this month a time of learning, reflection, and celebration. While May may be ending, the impact and contributions of AAPI communities continue all year long.
