On March 20, hundreds of protesters gathered for the ‘Stop Asian Hate' March in Logan Square to rally against a recent spike in hate crimes targeting the Asian-American community. -
The issue of racism against Asians in the U.S. isn’t new, but it has become more serious after a string of shootings in Atlanta and other attacks against Asians throughout the country. -
Protesters call for recognition of the lives of Asians and Americans from all different backgrounds: in this image, a protester holds a sign that says “Asian Lives Matter” in English, Japanese, Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and more. -
Signs displayed at a gathering in Horner Park on March 26 state the names of the two non-Asian victims who were killed by a gunman in Atlanta on March 16. -
Hundreds attended the gathering to mourn the eight victims. -
Mourners, including children, lit candles in remembrance of the victims. -
At the end of the march, hundreds gathered at a rally in Chinatown Square, where community leaders and public officials gave speeches and pledged their solidarity.
