SJR40,1,4
1
Relating to:
recognizing Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
2
(AANHPI) Heritage Month as a time to honor the important contributions of
3
Asians, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to the
4
history of the United States.
SJR40,1,6
5
Whereas, the people of Wisconsin join together each May to pay tribute to the
6
generations of AANHPI who have enriched the history of the United States; and
SJR40,1,8
7
Whereas, the history of AANHPI in Wisconsin is inextricably tied to the story
8
of Wisconsin; and
SJR40,1,12
9
Whereas, there are approximately 24 million U.S. residents who identify as
10
Asian and approximately 1.6 million U.S. residents who identify as Native
11
Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, comprising about 7 percent of the total
12
population; and
SJR40,1,14
13
Whereas, Wisconsin’s AANHPI population totaled 194,173 in 2020 and has
14
increased 82 percent since the 2000 Census; and
SJR40,2,3
1
Whereas, the AANHPI community is an inherently diverse population,
2
composed of more than 45 distinct ethnicities and more than 100 language dialects;
3
and
SJR40,2,6
4
Whereas, the immigration of Hmong refugees from Laos to Wisconsin from
5
1975 through the 1990s enriched the state immeasurably as Wisconsin has the
6
third largest Hmong population in the U.S.; and
SJR40,2,10
7
Whereas, the month of May was selected for Asian/Pacific American Heritage
8
Month because the first Japanese immigrants arrived in the United States on May
9
7, 1843, and the first transcontinental railroad was completed on May 10, 1869,
10
with substantial contributions from Chinese immigrants; and
SJR40,2,13
11
Whereas, the recent enactment of
2023 Wisconsin Act 266
ensures that the
12
unique histories and cultures of Asian Americans and Hmong Americans are
13
taught to schoolchildren throughout Wisconsin; and
SJR40,2,17
14
Whereas, AANHPI Heritage Month provides the people of Wisconsin with an
15
opportunity to recognize and celebrate the achievements, contributions, and history
16
of AANHPI communities and understand the challenges they face; now, therefore,
17
be it
SJR40,3,2
18
Resolved by the
senate
, the
assembly
concurring, That
the Wisconsin
19
State Legislature recognizes AANHPI Heritage Month as an important time to
20
celebrate the significant contributions of Asians, Asian Americans, Native
21
Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to the history of Wisconsin, and recognizes that
1
Asian, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities
2
strengthen and enhance the rich diversity of Wisconsin.
