May 24, 2021, News Release
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and JMRL is honored to host Dr. Sylvia Chong, Director of the Asian Pacific American Studies Program at the University of Virginia, for an important and timely virtual presentation entitled The History of Anti-Asian Violence in the U.S. This Zoom program is scheduled for Tuesday, May 25 at 7:00pm.
The recent wave of anti-Asian hate crimes, coupled with mass shootings in Atlanta and Indianapolis that targeted a large number of Asian victims, have received increased levels of attention in the national media. Coverage of these events has also exposed widespread ignorance of the history of Asian Americans’ presence in the U.S., along with the acts of mass violence, harassment and discrimination that they have faced.
