Not Just A Month: What We’re Celebrating This May with ‘Pushing Boundaries’ Tia Ho
It’s May again, somehow. This trip around the sun has been unlike any other, marred by the congruent plagues of racism and pandemic, one acting like fire to the oil spill of the other and igniting inequities the world over. Around this time last year, I heard of the first attack on a person of Asian descent that was presumed to be racially- and COVID-motivated: a woman who was doused with acid outside of her Brooklyn apartment while taking out the trash. Since then, the news has covered stabbings, subway attacks, and a tragic shooting in Atlanta.
