in the house of representatives
Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today during AANHPI Heritage Month to honor the contributions of Dr. Tai-Heng Cheng, specifically regarding his work with the National Museum of Asian Art. In 2022, a gift from Dr. Cheng and his husband, Cole Harrell, established the museum's first paid graduate internship program.
Cheng-Harrell Graduate Interns and have worked on museum exhibitions, research, and public programs. These young people come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing a unique perspective
museum and curatorial space is essential and will assuredly lead to collections that present a more complete history for all to enjoy and learn from.
Dr. Cheng's contributions have helped ensure that AANHPI history is preserved, curated, and presented with humanity and dignity. During this AANHPI Heritage Month, I congratulate him, the National Museum of Asian Art, and all of the students who have benefited from this program.
