Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month this May and every day with a special PBS collection of stories that explores the history, traditions and culture of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. More than 40 Films are available on WORLD Channel through your local PBS Station this May. Take a look and check your local listings for air times. If you miss them on TV (or they're not available in your area), come back to watch many programs online.

A People’s History of Asian America is a series of thoughtful visual essays and explainers, hosted by Emmy award-winning journalist, Dolly Li, and Asian studies scholar and professor, Adrian De Leon. Each episode offers informed and empowering perspectives, helping to break down common microaggressions and racist stereotypes through the tools of ethnic studies. This series covers what your classic American school history textbook may not.
