Exploring History and Civic Education with Classcraft

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May celebrates the significant contributions of people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent to the United States. It commemorates historical events such as the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad by Chinese workers in 1869. Originally a week-long celebration, it was extended to a month in 1992. The month is marked by festivals, parades, and cultural performances to honor and educate about Asian American history.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday in May, honors fallen American military personnel. While many Americans enjoy leisure activities on this day, it is important to recognize and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Memorial Day originated after the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. It is a time for Americans to visit cemeteries, attend memorials, and partake in parades to pay tribute to those who died in battle.

The conference provides educators with access to leading historians and educators, offering insights, lesson ideas, and resources for teaching about the Holocaust. Participants can engage with experts in real-time sessions, access historical lessons, and connect with a community dedicated to Holocaust education.

Cinco de Mayo and Memorial Day Celebrations

Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico's victory over France in 1862, while Memorial Day honors fallen U.S. military members. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a celebration of Mexican culture, with traditions like parades and music performances. On the other hand, Memorial Day is a solemn occasion to pay respects to those who died in service. It marks the beginning of summer and is observed through cemetery visits, family gatherings, and parades.
