## Caption

As #AAPIHeritageMonth continues, we honor how AAPI history is woven into the foundation of America.

When the #TranscontinentalRailroad was completed, Chinese laborers made up the majority of the workforce, working through dangerous conditions to physically connect the nation from coast to coast.

Their labor helped drive economic growth, movement and expansion across the U.S., and the contributions of AAPI communities today help us continue moving forward.
