Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) have played a crucial role throughout American history, both at the national and local levels. There has been a widespread movement to include AANHPI histories in curriculum across the nation. A growing number of states have passed legislation to mandate AANHPI history be included in K-12 curriculum (such as Illinois, New Jersey, Connecticut, Wisconsin), while other states, like Ohio and Texas, continue to organize and advocate for the inclusion of AANHPI history in their own classrooms.
