The impact of the AAPI community is apparent in all aspects of Bay Area culture. Today, 27% of Bay Area residents – just over two million people – identify as AAPI, second only to Honolulu. This month we acknowledge the history and contributions made by the AAPI community, and we encourage our readers to do the same!
