San Francisco community leaders and residents of Chinatown celebrated the second annual Ping Yuen Summer Block Party Saturday.
SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco community leaders and residents of Chinatown celebrated the second annual Ping Yuen Summer Block Party Saturday to spotlight a culturally diverse housing development and strengthen relationships between Asian and Black families struggling with economic hardship and racial tension during the pandemic.
"I'm a people person, I'm going to meet everybody," said Carolyn Pollard, a Ping Yuen resident who has lived in Chinatown for 13 years. She was one of the volunteers for the block party."Bring everybody together, the older people -- we have to look out for each other. We really do." "We all have the same goals, we all have the same aspirations and, if we work together as a community to get there, we can get there together," said Malcolm Yeung, executive director of the Chinatown Community Development Center.
"Us stepping up, us coming together, us condemning hate, us making investments to ensure safety and to provide resources to our small businesses in order to ensure that they thrive," said San Francisco Mayor London Breed.
