Celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May!
Celebrate 2013 AAPI Heritage Month in May with Filipino American poet Carlos Bulosan's "I Want the Wide American Earth":
Before the brave, before the proud builders and workers,
I say I want the wide American earth
For all the free.
I want the wide American earth for my people.
I want my beautiful land.
I want it with my rippling strength and tenderness
Of love and light and truth
For all the free.
