AAPI for Black Lives: Having Conversation About Race

It is not a new development that AAPIs are against and actively work to fight forms of oppression in support of the Black community. From even before the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s to recent events surrounding the murder of George Floyd at the hands of white police, AAPIs have and will continue to be allies to the Black Lives Matter movement. We aim to further dispel the myth of the “model minority,” which often paints the AAPI community as often silent or undeserving to take part in dialogue about race and inequality.
