Did you know?
Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is celebrated in May because it recognizes the first Japanese immigrants to come to the United States on May 7th, 1843 and the major contributions of Chinese immigrant laborers to the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10th, 1869.
Cozy up and grab the popcorn. Join W Nashville and API Middle Tennessee on the Spanish Steps for an outdoor movie viewing of iconic films that celebrate API voices and stories. Setup in amphitheater style with an oversized screen at the front, there are no bad seats in the house! Bar service available for purchase. Specialty cocktails will be served all month and a portion of proceeds will give back to API Middle Tennessee!
