Asian Heritage Issue Page 10 n THE ASIAN REPORTER May 2, 2022 Celebrating Asian Heritage The Asian Reporter honors Asian Heritage Month amid the continuing worldwide coronavirus pandemic. During the past year, people across the globe have endured waves of the disease as the delta then omicron variants spread in communities around the world. We encourage those who are eligible for primary and booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccines to schedule an appointment or locate a drop-in clinic. Please stay vigilant and informed of new developments while taking appropriate safety precautions to help keep all members of our community safe and healthy. In this special edition, we mark heritage month with a look at the four weeks of cultural performances, demonstrations, and interac- tive activities offered by Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden. Some of the featured performers include Takohachi taiko, the Vancouver Jasmine Dance Troupe, the Cambodian Dance Troupe, and others. The issue then highlights upcoming events and featured content created by The Immigrant Story, an organization that shares the stories and experiences of community members. Scheduled events include storytelling, pan-Asian music, an exhibit, and more. The section continues with numerous pro- grams, shows, and documentaries scheduled to air during heritage month on Oregon Public Broadcasting. Finally, our expanded events calendar provides a monthlong guide to Asian art, history, culture, and entertainment. While celebrating heritage month, we are also standing with our fellow Asian Americans nationwide who have continued to be the targets of unprovoked racial attacks and hate crimes. Please remain alert, stay safe, and look out for one another.
