May Heritage Celebrations

May is Jewish American Heritage Month; on April 20, 2006, President George W. Bush proclaimed that May would be Jewish American Heritage Month. Since 2007 Presidents Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden have issued proclamations for Jewish American Heritage Month.

May is also Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.

Our libraries will have book displays honoring these groups of Americans in May.
