Discover Lexington issue # 7 features Paul O’Shaughnessy, who brings history to life through his words, attire, and actions. He is a historical reenactor.

【莱镇人文第七期】 Paul O’Shaughnessy 是一位深知历史的重要并以特殊方式帮助人们学习历史的人物。从1972年起，保罗都穿着殖民时期服装，扮演一位第十步兵团的英国军官，在绿野战地(Battle Green)重现1775年的战争场面，栩栩如生地再现这一段辉煌的美国历史，使其成为“活着的历史”。Paul是莱镇爱国者日庆典中最受欢迎的历史再现者之一。阅读原文

这些年无论是怀着对美国价值观的憧憬与热爱来到美国的新移民，还是已经在美生活了一代乃至数代人的本土公民，两千三百万亚裔遭遇了太多的不公，承受了许多原本与他们无关的敌意与罪名。一个少数民族不应该被无下限侵犯，不应该因为肤色和种族受到社会的挤压，不应该因为政治和国际关系成为替罪羊！

枪声带来悲痛，也带来警醒。全美亚裔都应该团结起来，为了我们的亲人，孩子，朋友，社区，走上街头，呐喊、抗争，争取作为公民的平等权利！

当你还在感叹时光飞逝的时候，貌似2021才刚开年，二月却已丢下满地的残雪，悄悄关上了大门。

回首二月，它辍满雪花，美丽冻人，却也丰富多姿。二月是欢庆的，洋溢着牛年来临时的红红火火，热热闹闹；二月是甜蜜的，情人节里摇曳着浪漫的烛光和芬香的玫瑰；还有传统的中国元宵节，团团圆圆的汤团里含着情人般的甜甜美美；二月是一份纪念, 一份反思，它是一年一度的Black History Month; 二月更是一个结束，一个开篇，庚子过，否极泰来！当新增COVID 病例在全球直线下降时，我们仿佛从黑暗的隧道中看到了曙光在向我们招手！

大洋彼岸南国的家乡已是二月春风似剪刀的景象，尽管没有花开的莱镇严寒依旧，但春天的脚步越来越近，温暖还会遥远吗？

Last night was a most beautiful beginning as we come together as a community to seek answers to two burning questions on #antiasianhate: WHY is this happening? WHAT can we all do? No matter what the answers are, we know this much: “Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Please read the Report by Lexington Minuteman

CAAL sends out our deepest condolences and sympathies to all victims of racist and xenophobic hate crimes, especially to the families and loved ones of the innocent lives lost in the recent Atlanta massacre. We condemn all violence and crimes against Asians and Asian-Americans. We are both outraged and saddened by the senseless loss of life.

Xenophobic, racist crimes, and all acts of violence against Asians and Asian-Americans, must never be tolerated under any circumstances.

CAAL demands that federal and local governments, including all law enforcement agencies to take immediate action to combat the surge in anti-Asian violence. 

Comprehensive action must be taken to ensure the physical and mental health and safety of all Asian-Americans. 

CAAL stands together in solidarity with all community groups against prejudice, discrimination and hate.  We call on all Americans especially those with privilege and power to take responsibilities to make the change. 

Please contact your local and federal representatives to support, among similar efforts, the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act now pending in Congress. It is well past time for Congress to codify and implement this law because every American deserves to live their lives with safety, respect, and dignity.

莱镇华人社区沉痛哀悼在亚城种族仇恨大屠杀中的无辜受难者们，对他们的家人们表示最诚挚的同情和慰问。我们强烈谴责针对亚裔美国人的暴力和犯罪行为。我们对于多个生命的无谓失去深感痛心和愤怒！

无论是针对亚裔美国人还是其他族裔的仇恨、歧视和各种形式的暴力罪行，我们决不容忍姑息！

莱镇华协(CAAL)强烈要求联邦和地方政府以及执法部门立刻采取行动遏制这些突发的仇恨亚裔的暴行， 并必须采取全方位的行动以确保亚裔美国人的人身安全和心理健康。

我们华裔和所有其他族裔的人们应该团结一致反对一切偏见、歧视和仇恨。莱镇华协(CAAL)号召所有美国人，尤其那些具备社会推动力和影响力的社会人士，主动承担起应尽的社会责任并改变社会现状。

希望大家尽快与所在地方政府和联邦政府的代表联系，请求他们支持在国会通过“COVID-19 Hate Crime Act”。我们认为国会早就应该通过并执行这条法案，因为每一位美国人都有权力活着，活得有安全感活得有尊严。

Stand together to stop hatred and show your support to the Asian Communities!

The most recent Atlanta shooting not only took eight innocent lives away, but also stirred considerable outrage and fear in the Asian communities.

Since the Covid-19 outbreak, Anti-Asian hate crimes have increased by nearly 150% in several big cities. More than 2,800 reports of hate incidents directed at Asian nationwide were received by AAPI in 2020. Asian communities need your support in this difficult time in order to put a halt on these hate crimes.

The goal of this fundraising is to raise awareness about rising anti-Asian sentiment in US. All the proceedings and donations will go to The Asian Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF).

New York, NY, March 17, 2021 … In response to historic increases in anti-Chinese and anti-Asian American and Pacific Islander incidents and assaults, ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), the world’s leading anti-hate organization and Committee of 100, a non-profit U.S. leadership organization of prominent Chinese Americans, issued the following joint statement:

“We are united with all of our Asian American brothers and sisters in standing up against hate, xenophobia and violence,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “Violence towards any minority group is not the answer. The anxiety and fear in the Asian American community is palpable, and we grieve with and support the millions of Chinese Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders across the U.S. who feel targeted. We commend Committee of 100 for their work in bringing this issue of anti-Asian hate to the forefront and we very much look forward to working with them hand in hand to help solve a crisis that many communities are facing.” Read more
