This Week on MNN
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month in the U.S. and the month was chosen for two reasons. First, on May 7, 1843 the first Japanese immigrant arrived in the United States. Second, on May 10, 1869 the golden spike was driven into the first transcontinental railroad, which was completed using Chinese labor. This Week on MNN our Community Members introduce us to Asian Broadway actors, photographers and healthcare professionals impacting our lives.
Join us Sunday, May 7 starting at 1 PM and Wednesday, My 10 starting at 7 PM on MNN HD (Spectrum 1993)
