DESCRIPTION:During this global pandemic\, we hear reports of attacks on Asi
 ans and Asian Americans across the country. We are confronted by cycles of
  blame and fear on those who are perceived to be from China. Asian America
 ns young and old fear leaving their houses while masked. We also see Asian
 s and Asian Americans speaking out against hate and violence\, as well as 
 communities of color rising up with mutual aid efforts and creative networ
 ks of support in this time of physical isolation.\n\nTo respond to these t
 rends\, and to speak on the history of anti-Asian sentiment and the power 
 of strong community in the United States\, we are bringing together a conv
 ersation of leading figures in the Asian American community who are fighti
 ng back against this violence to lead us in a conversation. Join us to ref
 lect on how we can go beyond going back to &amp;ldquo\;normal&amp;rdquo\; after th
 is pandemic\, and instead imagine a new society that continues to dismantl
 e and fight against racism and prejudice.\n\nThis conversation will be mod
 erated by JANM&amp;rsquo\;s Chief Curator Karen Ishizuka\, and will feature&amp;nb
 sp\;&lt;strong&gt;Russell Jeung&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp\;(SF State University)\,&amp;nbsp\;&lt;st

 ounty Human Relations Commission). This program is Part I of &amp;ldquo\;Reima
