In
May we celebrate both Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Jewish American
Heritage Month
In a country as diverse as the U.S., there are so many ethnicities to be
celebrated.
I almost let May end without mentioning two of these.
The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration,
National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park
Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum pay
tribute to the generations of Jewish Americans and Asian and Pacific Islanders
who have enriched America’s history and are instrumental in its future success.
They have updated the websites where these two heritages are
celebrated. Each website includes many
resources that you will want to check out, especially the Exhibits and
Collections tabs which includes mentions of resources located at each
repository previously named as well as articles, research guides, collection
overviews and more. Now that I said
that, I also really enjoyed the images (I am always drawn to visual
elements). Then, I also checked out the “For
Teachers” tab and that had some really neat stuff also. You know what, just check out both sites
since I couldn’t resist watching some old videos as well.
How did you celebrate these heritages this month?
Editor’s Note: In the
past we have celebrated many different heritage months. Here is a sampling of those posts ….
