‘I am not a foreigner here’: Students, activists take to Madison streets in wake of Asian shootings

Brenda Yang, a Hmong woman who works at Madison East High School and the Hmong Institute, welcomed the audience, encouraging young students to resist the “model minority” Asian myth and come together across ethnic lines.
