During #AANHPIHeritageMonth, #DDOTDC's Equity and Inclusion and the Planning and Sustainability Divisions collaborated to organize a bike ride celebrating the contributions, achievements, and influence of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in #DC. The event included a meeting with the 1882 Foundation, where insights into the rich heritage of the AANHPI community were shared. The journey also featured a visit to Chinatown Park (Reservation 72), a beautifully revitalized green space that reflects the community's contributions. This initiative underscores the ongoing commitment to honor and celebrate the AANHPI community's impact on our city. Share your favorite AANHPI heritage sites or stories of how the community has enriched DC in the comments below! #AANHPIHeritageMonth #DDOTDC
