Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) Biography Project launches APIA Heritage Month at the Main Library with its 11th annual kickoff event by honoring APIA singers. Through biographical portraits, games, craft activities and live music, learn about singers past and present, local and international, engaged in social justice through their actions and/or lyrics in the music industry.

Throughout May, access videos and activities online at Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) Biography Project. View “Wall of Fame” exhibits at the Children’s Center and the Chinese Center and participate in a scavenger hunt. The first 50 children, ages 12 and younger, to complete the scavenger hunt earns a prize.
