Welcome to our 44th episode of Hearabouts: Asian American Midwest Radio! Hearabouts is produced by WFHB and Indiana University’s Asian Culture Center. We ask critical questions about identity, culture, community and shared assumptions.
For today’s episode we will be airing a recording of the Justice for AAPI virtual commemoration event hosted by the The IU Asian Culture Center. The event was in cooperation with the City of Bloomington and the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs to honor the lives lost to the anti-Asian violence in Georgia. The victims of the shootings in Atlanta were Soon Chung Park, 74; Hyun Jung Grant, 51; Suncha Kim, 69; Yong Ae Yue, 63; Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33; Xiaojie Tan, 49; and Daoyou Feng, 44.
Pallavi Padakandla Rao, ACC community member and event moderator, said the event was to honor and remember the lives lost in the Atlanta anti-Asian violence. The event also featured Bloomington poet Hiromi Yoshida and Lisa Kwong, IU Asian American Studies Program lecturer. IU professor Ellen Wu said that people should recognize the value and worth of Asian American women after the shootings in Atlanta.
