The Rise In Anti-Asian Attacks During The COVID-19 Pandemic

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, racism and harassment toward Asian Americans have increased. But anti-Asian racism isn't new and this uptick of violence forces us to examine the centuries of hate that has led to this moment. We talk about what's behind the rise in anti-Asian attacks and examine what history might tell us about the fight to be seen and to feel safe. Want to support 1A?
