Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), now officially proclaimed "Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month" by President Barack Obama,[1] is a celebration of the culture, traditions, and history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.

In May 1992, the month of May was permanently designated as “Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month”; however, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, APAHM has been traditionally celebrated in the month of April.

Organization of events to celebrate this month is spearheaded by the Yuri Kochiyama Cultural Center (YKCC) of UMass.

research indicates that the more overtly a man accepts this traditional masculinity, the more likely he is
to be sexually and relationally violent, drive unsafely, refuse to use condoms, use dietary supplements,
carry weapons, engage in high-risk drinking and drug use and many other unhealthy behaviors.
