Today in Council Chambers, we kicked off this year's Los Angeles Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage Month with a special presentation by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who recognized Administrative Operations Deputy Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Emile Mack, East West Bank President Dominic Ng, and renowned artist Tyrus Wong, whose achievements embody this year’s theme of Hope, Spirit, and Dreams Flow to the Future.
During the next few weeks, there will be many more events to celebrate the Asian heritage of L.A., ranging from art exhibits to tai chi classes. Find out dates and locations by visiting the Los Angeles Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage Month website.
