In the last week of USC’s APISA Heritage Month, Match Volume’s Lutian Wang sat down with Isaac Vigilla, a native Hawaiian working as a USC faculty member. They started from the story of pineapple and then dug deeper into Hawaiian history and culture, raising people’s awareness of the significant contributions made by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
