This week, there's a grass roots effort to unite the Black and Asian communities here in Philadelphia to celebrate joy and build bridges.
PHILADELPHIA -- There's a long history of both strife and solidarity between the Black and Asian communities - one that includes a history of clashing, but also common ground with both groups being targeted because of their race.
"We decided to launch an effort and not just talk about it amongst our selves, but to be about it," said event co-organizer, Karla Ballard. She says they've been meeting since the fall with a small group of people from both communities on how to bridge the gap."For those folks who've never had a personal relationship with people from the other communities, maybe this is the first time. To know what it looks like and feels like. And that is my main hope," said Castillo.
