"Knowledge is Power, Knowledge is Pride." This statement is the founding principle behind Asians in America (AIA). Our sole purpose is to be a central source of information for all things of interest to people of Asian Pacific descent living in the United States.

When AIA was first concieved in 1999, it was to be nothing more than an online directory of Asian Pacific American (APA) organizations. But as the idea took shape, it became evident that AIA could and should be much more.

With the lack of a central source for news on the APA community and the need for a national bulletin board and calendar for events and announcements, it was decided that AIA will try to fullfill these needs as well as it's original purpose as a directory.

True, there were many online publications for Asian Pacific Americans, and there were also a lot of websites that featured organization directories, calendars or historical facts but none of them were being actively promoted to the general public. Some of them covered one area of interest but not another, many were part of a larger organization that had other priorities, others weren't updated on a regular basis, and most dealt with information on Asia as much as they did on Asian America. That's where AIA comes in. It's mission, not as much as to create even more new information about the community, but to gather what information does exist and make them accessible from one central location and to update it regularly.

Our goal is to become the most comprehensive source of information on Asian Pacific America. We provide previously published and original content useful to community leaders, researchers, writers, journalists, educators, policy makers, students, or anyone with any interest in the APA community.
