While Chicago saw a drop in total hate crimes from 2019 to 2020, the Asian American community saw a zero percent change in hate crimes.

Unfortunately for the high school Class of 2020, the pandemic has deprived us of this passage to a new chapter. We remain in our homes, surrounded by everything that reminds of our past life. I pass by my high school often. I pass by all the places I would hang out with my friends. I remember these were the places where we would talk about the future.
