暮春五月，莺飞草长. 伴着阳光明媚的五月天一起走来的，还有亚太裔传统月 (AAPI Heritage Month) ! 

肆虐了两年多的疫情终点在望，麻州的工作生活也渐次恢复正常。莱镇华协(CAAL)携手莱镇 “Hey” 跑团(Lexington Hey Runners Club) 将于五月三十日在莱镇高中举办 5K 跑步/健走活动，以此庆祝和纪念亚太裔传统月。邀请大家不仅享受自由奔跑和健走的乐趣，也有机会赛后品尝来自亚太与其他族裔的美食。品一品吹面不寒的春风，赏一赏杂花生树的春色，也希望疫情期间加剧的对亚裔的偏见能够随着疫情一起消散。

You are invited to watch the award-winning documentary Far East Deep South for free in person or online to celebrate this year’s Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet the producers of the film in a live, student-led, virtual Q&A session at 7 PM EDT on Friday, April 29, 2022.

Previously aired on PBS World Channel’s “America ReFramed’, the film follows the journey of two Chinese-American brothers who seek to know more about their family history. Surprisingly, the place where they end up turns out to be a small town in the Mississippi Delta. The film also explores the discrimination Asian-Americans historically faced, the interconnected relationship between the Black and Chinese communities in the Jim Crow era, and the generational impact of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

This event is organized and sponsored by 18 organizations in Belmont and Lexington. The funding is provided by the Chinese American Association of Lexington (CAAL), the Belmont Celebrates AAPI Heritage Fund, and a grant from the Belmont Cultural Council (BCC), a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council (MCC), a state agency.

This event is co-sponsored by the following Lexington based organizations: Cary Memorial Library, Cary library Foundation, Lexington Youth AAPI Volunteers, Association of Black Citizens of Lexington (ABCL), Lexington Historic Society, Asian Student Union of Lexington High School.
