On May 8, 2021, the first event in the Multicultural Festival series to celebrate Asian and Pacific Heritage month and against the recent outbreak of anti-Asian violence in the United States was held at the historic Union Station. The event was hosted by the City of Montgomery‘s Department of Culture Affair and co-organized by the CAAC (The Central Alabama Association Of Chinese), International Language and Culture College of Troy University, and other Asian societies.
The festival’s activities include presentations of Asia-Pacific culture, taste of Chinese cuisine and music/dance performances to showcase multi-cultural integration to visitors. Crispy chicken from local Chinese Restaurant Mr. Chen was a favor dish and many visitors came back for more. The enthusiastic and intense performance of the Birmingham waist drum team became the eye-catching work of the audience. The professional Chinese folk dancing by Yuyan Dance Ensemble and the vivid ensemble music of Jiemin/Jasmin Castillo (mother and daughter) also attracted many audiences.
After the heartwarming performance, CAAC president Dr. Xuejun Shen participated in a panel discussion along with representatives from other AAPI organizations to exchange ideas and cultivated friendships. All praised and thanked the city for such a wonderful opportunity and look forward to work closely in the future.
On 4/11, people of all races attended a Montgomery rally sponsored by multiple local minority and human rights groups, standing in solidarity against Asian hate crimes, and remembering the victims of the 3/16 Atlanta mass shooting. CAAC representatives attended the event, and President Shen took an interview with a WSFA news reporter.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, the past year has been difficult. Now that we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, Dawson of Montgomery Chinese Christian Church organized a party to celebrate the Easter Festival, with wonderful homemade foods prepared by the church members. Thanks to everyone, and we wish you and your family health, peace and happiness.
