Note

Across from the library stands the grandiose memorial of Chiang Kai Shek, whose KMT regime oversaw the secret execution of over 30,000 Taiwanese activists. Taiwanese and Taiwanese Americans: we, too, watch the government pardon and honor glorified murderers. We, too, walk over the graveyards of our own people. We, too, have known rain and destruction all our lives.

We, then, should know better.

We, then, should do better.

Black lives matter.

Black lives matter.

Black lives matter.
