People came out Sunday in San Francisco for what organizers called the first 'Asian and Black Community Cookout.'
“We are proud in solidarity to work community part of the solidarity that Asian Stop Hate, we want to bring both our communities together in a day of fun, food, football,” said Jon Henry withOrganizers said they wanted to celebrate the similarities between Black and Asian communities – during what they describe as times of friction and division.
“The goal is to really talk about how to build community. A lot of people talk about solidarity and unity online on social media, but community is more than social media. You have to come out and break bread with someone, have a conversation with someone and really get to know people,” said Hudson Liao with Asians are Strong.
They figure, one way to do that is through food, and celebrating similarities and understanding shared challenges. “That’s what we’re trying to foster real relationships real connections over the universal language of love, which is food. Every culture loves food. There is no bad food, there is no good food,” Liao said.“A lot of it aims to start a conversation on how Asian and Black communities have worked together in the past. All the way from the 1800s to present,” Quan said
