AI Summary
This resolution recognizes Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month as a time to honor the contributions of these communities to the United States, with a specific focus on Wisconsin. The resolution highlights that AANHPI residents comprise approximately 7 percent of the total U.S. population, with Wisconsin's AANHPI population growing 82 percent since 2000 to 194,173 people in 2020. It emphasizes the community's diversity, noting they represent over 45 distinct ethnicities and more than 100 language dialects, and specifically mentions the significant Hmong population in Wisconsin, which is the third largest in the U.S. The resolution points out that May was chosen for AANHPI Heritage Month due to historical milestones like the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 with substantial Chinese immigrant contributions. Additionally, it references a recent Wisconsin law (Act 266) that ensures the teaching of Asian American and Hmong American histories in schools, and underscores the importance of recognizing and celebrating AANHPI achievements, contributions, and challenges.
