Gender & Sexuality Studies Program

To Our Asian and Asian American Students, Colleagues, Friends, and the entire Northwestern Community

We write to share our grief over the loss of Delaina Ashley Yaun, Paul Andre Michels, Xiaojie Tan, Daoyou Feng, Soon Jung Park, Hyun Jung Grant, Suncha Kim, and Yong Ae Yue, murdered Tuesday, March 16, 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia. Their loss is magnified by the hate, anti-Asian discrimination, misogyny, and white supremacy that has fed this act and the more than 3000 other such hate crimes that have been committed in the last year in the wake of the appearance of the Covid-19 virus.
