What Does This Holiday Mean to You?
The concept of
holidaysoften originated in connection with religious observances. The intention of a holiday was typically to allow individuals to tend to
religious dutiesassociated with important dates on the calendar. In most modern societies, however, holidays serve as much of a
recreationalfunctionas any other weekend days or activities.”
As
the newest and most rapidly rising racial/ethnic groupin the U.S., we Asian Americans may still have some duties to ourselves besides having parties or making travel for fun in this holiday season. In early days of America, the Founding Fathers made tremendous sacrifice to win independence of the Colony and left long-lasting legacy. To realize our American dream, we may need to emulate the Founding Fathers, as for Asian Americans we are of that generation. Joining 80-20 PAC is probably the closest act you can take, because our mission is to win equal opportunities for ALL Asian Americans.
