May is Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month. It is a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders and their history in the United States of America. Starting on May 30, 2013 History Education Hawaii, Inc., added this to our Hawaii History Blog Project. It is a Hawaii-centered historical blog focused on Commodore Perry's 1853-1854 expedition to Japan. All of the texts are transcriptions by volunteers from Hawaii-based news articles from The Polynesian (official organ of the Hawaiian government) and The Friend, published by Rev. Samuel C. Damon of the American Seaman's Friend Society.
