The initiative highlights the history, impact, and lived experiences of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities in the borough. Organizers say the project creates space for storytelling and connection, encouraging people to engage more deeply with their cultural roots and shared history. Participants emphasized the importance of preserving heritage and ensuring these stories continue to be recognized and passed on.
