May was first recognized nationally as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in 1992. Allison Huh, founder of the San Mateo County Dear Asian Youth chapter and sophomore at Crystal Springs Uplands School, recognizes the month as crucial to their mission of spreading awareness of Asian American culture and issues. “Last year, we celebrated by giving a brief historical background pertaining to how it was started, ideas for celebrating, and how AAPI Heritage Month is celebrated in other ethnically diverse countries,” Huh said.
