HIGHLIGHTING AAPI HERITAGE MONTH
(Ms. STEVENS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. STEVENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight Asian American
and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, an annual celebration that
recognizes the many historical and cultural contributions of Asian and
Pacific Islander descent to the United States.
From science to medicine, literature and arts, sports and recreation,
government and politics, activism, and law, our Asian-American
community is so vital to our country's success.
I would like to shine a light on the Asian Pacific American Chamber
of Commerce back in my home state of Michigan, which I had the honor of
celebrating with for their 23rd annual anniversary and gala that
included so many constituents, leaders from throughout Michigan. Yet
again, Michigan continues to lead the way alongside our AAPI community.
