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, particularly his work with the National Museum of Asian Art. In 2022, a gift from Dr. Cheng established the museum's first paid graduate internship program.
from Dr. Cheng's generosity, working on museum exhibitions, research, and public programs. These young people come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing a unique perspective not only to the National Museum of Asian Art, but also to the cultural institutions they will shape throughout their careers. This pipeline of diverse, intelligent, and passionate talent in the museum and curatorial field is essential and will undoubtedly 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 the students who have benefited from this program.
