Last monthâs fatal shooting in Atlanta that left six Asian women dead inspired demonstrations, marches and protests throughout Boston over the weekend, as local groups mobilize with the hashtag #StopAsianHate.
The horrific event also inspired Phoebe Tian, a 14-year-old high school student from Lexington, to write a song.
âIt is time when we speak up, we sit up high, we stand up strong,â a crowd of 200 people sang on the Boston Common Sunday. âWe are proud to be Asian; staying quiet is not an option.â
