Every year, KQED and Union Bank of California honor five outstanding local heroes for Asian Pacific American Heritage month (which is every May). This year’s heroes are:
• Regina Clewlow, founder of Engineers for a Sustainable World.
• The Rev. Norman Fong of San Francisco, deputy director of the Chinatown Community Development Center.
• Cathy Inamasu of San Francisco, executive director of Nihonmachi (Japantown) Little Friends.
• Christina Mei-Yue Wong of San Francisco, director of community initiatives for Chinese for Affirmative Action.
• Connie Young Yu, Chinese Historical Society of America.
Congratulations to all the winners – KQED will air short profiles of the honorees as part of its special May programming on the Asian Pacific American experience.
