WHIAANHPI

Lasting Legacies

Lasting Legacies brought together Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander leaders from across the country for a historic White House celebration at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC. Hosted by the White House and WHIAANHPI, the 2024 event honored AA and NHPI Heritage Month while marking 25 years since the creation of the White House Initiative and the President’s Advisory Commission. It was a day rooted in history, community, and momentum — gathering leaders across five presidential administrations to reflect on the progress, stories, and people who continue shaping the future.
