From entrepreneurship to activism, the social and cultural influences of Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage are infused within Uptown’s landscape. With local businesses inspired by a reverence for tradition, neighborhood nonprofits rooted in supporting Upper Manhattan’s ever-growing Asian American population, and a collective of community leaders dedicated to increasing representation across different spaces, these impactful contributions are a large part of Uptown’s story. In observance of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, Columbia Neighbors has curated a collection of stories and resources that celebrate Upper Manhattan’s AAPI community.
