The U.S. Census estimates 6.5 percent of Grand Prairie's population identifies as AAPI.  It is our mission to create a space to reflect and celebrate the important role that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have played in our shared history, as well as celebrate their contributions to our community.
