It is a time to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of Asian Americans\, Pacific Islanders\, and Native Hawaiians to the history\, culture\, and achievements of the United States. \nThe month of May was chosen because it marks the anniversary of the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to the United States on May 7\, 1843\, and also the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10\, 1869\, which was largely built by Chinese immigrants. \nAAPI Heritage Month is an opportunity to celebrate the diverse cultures and experiences of AAPI communities and to raise awareness of the challenges and injustices they have faced and continue to face\, including discrimination\, racism\, and hate crimes. \nHOW CAN WE CELEBRATE AAPI MONTH? \nFrom the Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans: \n  \nCunningham Tennis – Saturday\, May 13th from 1 – 3 PM \nJoin us for a celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Cunningham Tennis!
