[KS] Asian-American Heritage Month Events at the Library of Congress

[Jacqueline Pak]

Hello.

Here, I forward the schedule of events in May.  The LCAAA (Library of
Congress Association of Asian Americans) and the Special Affirmative Action
Program, among others, have contributed much of their time and effort to
organize these activities.  You are all welcome, as the events are free and
open.

Thanks,
Jacqueline Pak
