In December 2009, dozens of concerned Asian student immigrants boycotted their high school and launched a civil rights campaign to fight for a safer educational environment. Now, Asian Americans United and partners, including organizations like the Philadelphia Folklore Project, are showcasing their remarkable exhibit entitled "We Cannot Be Silent." The exhibit features voices from a campaign that sought to terminate both school violence and racial discord and includes the photographs of both Harvey Finkle and Kathy Shimizu.
