Fordham Conversations

There's an ongoing wave of anti-Asian violence and harassment spreading across the U.S. There have been incidents where Asians in America, especially women and the elderly, are being spat on, knocked down, robbed, slashed across the face and worse. This is causing fear in these communities, economic challenges for the businesses, And confusion and anger over why these incidents aren't getting coverage from mainstream news outlets.

This is Fordham Conversations "We The People." Where we delve into the intricate issues surrounding racial and ethnic minorities including the injustices, challenges and progresses being made in these communities.
