Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Week 3: Hawaiian Themed

There are two events planned for API Heritage Month this week, and they are both Hawaiian themed!

On Tuesday, April 9 at 7 PM at WPC 140 Japanese American poet Garrett Hongo, who grew up in Hawaii, will be giving a poetry reading.  Yours truly, Jun, will be introducing him.  Mr. Hongo's poetry draws on his experience growing up in Hawaii and on the historical experience of the Japanese American community.

Shoots den Bruddah! is a lunchtime talk about Hawaii's unofficial pidgin language to be held at 12 PM on Thursday, April 11 at the MC.  This event is being put on by ALANA Center Community Inclusion Coordinator Antonio Calderon.  There will be free Hawaiian food!
