Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, especially important to the community as crimes against Asian American have increased in recent months.

Today we learn about the rich history of Asian populations immigrating to and living in the United States, and talk to a local historian to hear stories of Asian experiences and historic businesses in Indiana.

Produced by Micah Yason.
