Dear CWR Nation,
As we head into summer, I hope the first part of this year has brought you and your family blessings and joy.
We believe in diversity, and we give our full support to recognizing the contributions and accomplishments of the many groups that make up this great country. This month we celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. You will find much information in this issue of our newsletter about our Asian Pacific American neighbors. We encourage you to help us celebrate the history and culture of Asian Pacific Americans.

There are great things going on with your causes, issues, and life empowerment network. We are proud to announce the association of one of America's most respected and well-known weight-loss and nutrition experts with The CWR Talk Network, Ms. Jenn Hand. She is the founder of
The Normal Eaters Club and the author of

We also just launched our new
Read, Read, Read program to help students and adults who need help with improving their reading. In addition to being an interactive reading literacy and enhancement program, this program also seeks to match students with mentors to help them in numerous ways. Listen to
Read, Read, Read with host and producer,
Ms. JoAnn Burl the third Saturday every month at 11:00 AM Central Daylight Time.
Finally, after months, and months of searching for the right match of individuals, we are proud to announce the launch of what will be one of the most powerful shows on the Internet or anywhere else,
No Sleep. This show is comprised of all millennials, focused on millennial issues and lifestyles, but in-tune with what is going on in the world outside the millennial universe. If you are a millennial and want to keep up with what is going on, or if you just want to know what is going with millennials, this show is for you.
No Sleep begins on The CWR Talk Network
Wednesday - June 6th at 8:00 PM CDT.
Also, one of the most important events of the year for us here at The CWR Talk Network is our virtual online town hall event, Race In America: Where Do We Go From Here?

May is
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month - a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. A rather broad term, Asian/Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia (New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands), Micronesia (Marianas, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia) and Polynesia (New Zealand, Hawaiian Islands, Rotuma, Midway Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Easter Island).
Like most commemorative months,
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month originated with Congress. In 1977 Reps. Frank Horton of New York introduced House Joint Resolution 540 to proclaim the first ten days in May as
Pacific/Asian American Heritage Week. In the same year, Senator Daniel Inouye introduced a similar resolution, Senate Joint Resolution 72. Neither of these resolutions passed, so in June 1978, Rep. Horton introduced House Joint Resolution 1007. This resolution proposed that the President should "proclaim a week, which is to include the seventh and tenth of the month, during the first ten days in May of 1979 as '
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week.'" This joint resolution was passed by the House and then the Senate and was signed by President Jimmy Carter on October 5, 1978 to become Public Law 95-419 (PDF, 158kb). This law amended the original language of the bill and directed the President to issue a proclamation for the "7 day period beginning on May 4, 1979 as '
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week.'" During the next decade, presidents passed annual proclamations for
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week until 1990 when Congress passed Public Law 101-283 (PDF, 166kb) which expanded the observance to a month for 1990. Then in 1992, Congress passed Public Law 102-450 (PDF, 285kb) which annually designated May as
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.
The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the
transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.
