hyphenmagazine1 - July 20, 2015
[1]In April 2015, University of San Francisco (USF), in partnership with Hyphen, organized “Wake ‘Em Up! Explorations of Asian Pacific Islander Solidarity in the #BlackLivesMatter Movement" -- an event that brought together students, activists and artists to discuss ways the AAPI community can be meaningfully involved in this movement. Many young people were in attendance, excited and bristling with energy and ideas. Students fielded questions about the place of AAPIs in the fight for racial equality, and shared stories of different perspectives.
