In the 2010 Folklife Festival book, the goal of the Asian Pacific Americans program is described in this way:
"Not East Versus West" is the theme for today's programming, reflecting our goal of ending the notion that people from Asia and the Pacific Islands are "perpetual foreigners" no matter how long they have lived in this country
"War and Peace" is the theme of today's Asian Pacific American programming.
Today is the Fourth of July, a day when our nation celebrates the Declaration of Independence from England that Thomas Jefferson and others approved in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776.
