Stop Asian Hate

Words have power. The Enoch Pratt Free Library condemns the increasing attacks against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. As information professionals, we categorically denounce the disinformation about the coronavirus that has given rise to the xenophobic and racist assaults against the AAPI community.
