What To Watch: Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month Edition

May 1, 2020
By Beatrice Alvarez
Thank goodness Congress expanded Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Week in 1992 to cover the entire month of May. There are simply too many stories of how the country has been shaped and improved by our AAPI brothers and sisters to fit into one week. Below are some, but not all, titles you can stream to honor our country's proud and diverse AAPI history.
Remember to check your local station for air dates in addition to watching online and on the PBS Video App.
