Page 8 n THE ASIAN REPORTER Asian Heritage Issue May 1, 2023 Celebrating Asian Heritage The Asian Reporter celebrates Asian Heritage Month with this special edition. In this issue, we mark heritage month with a visit to New Year in the Park 2023, a free family-friendly celebration of the Cambo- dian, Lao, Thai, and Burmese New Year that took place at Glenhaven Park in late April. On a beautiful day with sunny weather, the event featured area businesses, restaurants, organizations, and performers. In addition to watching the entertainment stage, festival-goers enjoyed papaya salad, lotus cookies, and fried bananas; purchased clothing, jewelry, and other goods; and learned about important information available to the community. The section continues with numerous programs, shows, and documentaries scheduled to air during heritage month on Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) and OPB World. More than three dozen films focusing on the experiences of Asian Americans are featured. The issue also highlights a new book written by Renee Macalino Rutledge and illustrated by Lauren Akazawa Mendez. The ABCs of Asian American History introduces readers to amazing inventors, artists, athletes, comics, and others, whose accomplishments benefit all of us. The book also contains interesting facts while empowering the Asian community. Finally, our expanded events calendar provides a monthlong guide to Asian art, history, culture, and entertainment. While celebrating heritage month, we continue to stand with our fellow Asian Americans across the country who have experienced unprovoked racial attacks and hate crimes. Please stay safe and remain alert while also looking out for each other. 1 MONTH FREE! e) alu (a $28 v Save BIG on your transportation costs!
