May is Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869, which the majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.
USTA Colorado celebrates Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month with the Breaking the Barriers: Asian Connection showcasing tennis pioneers, contributors and rising stars in Colorado.
