Asian and Pacific Islander Americans play and have played significant roles in the transformation of regions, cities, and communities. These immigrants, refugees and citizens are greatly ignored in the discourse on which peoples helped build America; whether the railroads, in mining, salmon or other fisheries, aquaculture, aviation, civil rights and social change. The Wing’s week-long Landmarks programs focus on the themes of Immigration and Exclusion (mid-1880s-1924), Struggles and Contributions of Laborers (1870-present), and Representation and Memorialization (1898-present). We will focUS on the hidden histories of the earliest Native Hawaiians through the Chinese, South Asian, Filipino, Korean and Japanese immigrant laborers.
