May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and Teaching Tolerance has assembled the following articles and video to help educators celebrate the heritage of this diverse group of Americans with their students—this month and throughout the year.

  • I AM ASIAN AMERICAN
    Uncover the true diversity beneath the Asian American label.
  • TEACHERS, CHECK YOUR TEXTS
    LGBTQ Asian identities need to be amplified in the school curriculum—and not just during a heritage month.
  • HAWAIIANS LIVE IN ALOHA
    This video excerpt is from A Place in the Middle: The True Meaning of Aloha, a 2014 short documentary film. The film can be viewed in its entirety here.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
