Senator Boxer Launches Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2004 Webpage  

Washington, D.C.-U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has launched this year's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month webpage. The webpage features information about the history and culture of Asian Pacific Americans as well as a directory of celebrations throughout California.

"I am delighted to continue my tradition of celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with this webpage," Senator Boxer said. "California has the largest Asian-American population of any state in America. I invite Californians to visit my webpage to learn more about Asian Pacific Americans and the important contributions they have made to our state and nation. I hope you will find the page interesting and informative."

Other highlights of the webpage include profiles of Asian Pacific American leaders in a wide variety of fields, links to other websites on Asian Pacific American history and culture, and a trivia quiz.
