Coming Soon - Nov 1, 2024

Beginning November 1, 2023 — APIAHiP is thrilled to unveil APIA Every Day (APIA Ed), a new initiative that invites you to join our daily journey through Asian & Pacific Islander American history and heritage. Every day, we spotlight a new historic site or cultural resource that holds significant importance to Asian & Pacific Islander Americans all over the country and its territories, showcasing our collective and diasporic contributions to the greater American narrative.

Our mission is clear: to shed light on an abundance of sites, both on local, state, and national registers, as well as those yet to be recognized. We strive to expand awareness beyond well-known landmarks, encouraging a collective understanding of the diverse and multifaceted stories of our communities. Through this, we aim to bridge gaps in historical representation and elevate underrepresented sites, stories, and communities that are integral to our broader understanding of American history.

With each spotlight, we refer to existing research and information available, amplifying others' advocacy efforts and historical labor and seeking your support and engagement especially when those sites and resources have been underserved or actively endangered. We invite you to learn about new sites and stories, while actively participating by sharing your recommendations of places that matter to you and your regional or ethnic communities.

Join us in this enlightening exploration by following us on Instagram and Facebook, or by visiting this webpage frequently. Together, let's celebrate the diverse heritage and rich history of Asian & Pacific Islander Americans, one place at a time. APIA Every Day is an invitation to honor the past and shape a more inclusive future!
