Chinatown for Black Lives

Community March

In late June, we held the first ever march in Chinatown for Black Lives that we know of. This idea was brought to us by local college students. We burned incense, passed out flowers, and chanted in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. Shopkeepers came out of their stores to give us the thumbs up. Black and Chinese residents joined us in our marching. We hope this showed black residents that they are loved, and changed Chinese residents’ perceptions of protests.
