Anti-Asian Hate and Violence
Cannot Be Ignored
By Sharyl Kato
Co-Chair, Wisconsin Organization for Asian Americans
The horrific atrocity of eight individuals murdered in Atlanta, last
week, amplifies many triggers for me, on many different levels,
personal, professional, social and political. This tragedy and so
many others, occurring over the past year, highlights the racism
our country has held for centuries, against Asian Americans.
Feelings of fear and dread rise for me, now, from my childhood and
throughout adulthood, having observed and experienced
harassment.
