CAPA History
In 1979, the first Asian Pacific American Heritage Week was proclaimed
by President Jimmy Carter. Following this was the creation of
the Coalition of Asian Pacific American Associations, organized
to: promote cooperation and understanding among Americans of Asian
Pacific descent and among their representative organizations;
foster friendship among Americans of Asian Pacific descent and
others in the community; promote, represent, and advocate the
interests of Asian Pacific American communities; and provide a
conducive environment for encouraging Asian Pacific Americans
to utilize their history, culture and art to foster self-esteem
and respect for their heritage.
The Coalition
established as its principal activity the celebration of an annual
Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival during the first week
of May, now expanded to Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
by President George Bush. In 1994, the Coalition changed its name
to Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans (CAPA) to reflect the
growth of the organization which is comprised of unaffiliated
individuals in addition to representatives of Asian Pacific American
organizations.
