Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month from Asian Hall of Fame. 21 years ago, we set out to make sure Asian and Native American contributions are recognized and celebrated. Today, that mission is stronger than ever. This month, we're looking back at how far we've come and looking ahead at where we're going. Take a look at what we've been building. #AAPIHeritageMonth #AAPI

Nancy Kwan, 2021 Lifetime Achievement Inductee, at our 2025 May 1st Gala. Reflecting on a time when being #Eurasian meant navigating intolerance, she shared how far we’ve come. We now see identities like hers celebrated across generations, from her own story to artists like @laufey. Her cousin @kevinkwanbooks — who also presented her at the gala — inspired Nancy to write her memoir where she shares her story of resilience. A powerful reminder as we look ahead to our upcoming Heritage Gala 🌹

This Earth Day, we honor Virginia Cross, Asian Hall of Fame's first Native Inductee.  Virginia Cross, distinguished Muckleshoot Tribal Elder, has spent over 40 years advocating for her people, her community, and the land they call home. Her work with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe is a reminder that the most powerful form of environmentalism isn't new — it's been practiced by Native communities for generations. #EarthDay #VirginiaCross #MuckleshootIndianTribe #Native
