Museum Statement on Attacks Against AAPI Communities

At the American Folk Art Museum, we grieve the lives lost in the horrific attacks in Atlanta, which represent a disturbing and violent escalation of ongoing and acts of racism and discrimination against our colleagues, neighbors, and friends in the Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities.⁣⁣⁣These attacks, and the hateful rhetoric against AAPI communities in New York and around the world, must end. In solidarity with AAPI communities, which have faced centuries of discrimination, we are sharing resources and organizations that can assist in providing relief and support.
