Asian American/Pacific Islander/Native Hawai’ian (AAPI) Heritage Month is when we recognize the strength, contributions, and legacies of Asian Americans, Native Hawai’ians, Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) who have helped to build and unite this country. Haitian Heritage Month is a terrific time to celebrate the vibrant culture, distinct art, delectable cuisine, and people of Haitian origin.

Jewish American Heritage Month, meanwhile, celebrates the rich inspiration, support, and innovation provided by those of Jewish heritage to United States American history, culture, literature and the arts, science, government, and more.

Do these include your own heritage and culture? How do you celebrate it in daily life?
