According to a news release from the Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Joseph G. Runyon, 53, of Coolville, sustained minor injuries and was transported by Meigs EMS from the scene. Runyon was traveling westbound on State Route 681 in a 1998 Buick Lesabre. An unoccupied 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 was parked in the the roadway facing west while the occupant of the vehicle was directing trafﬁc with a stop sign due to ODOT having a lane shut down to work on the berm. According to the news release, Runyon reportedly failed to stop at the stop sign and struck the back of the truck. The crash occurred at 1:58 p.m. on Thursday near milepost 22 on State Route 681. The roadway was closed for approximately one hour. Assisting at the scene were the Olive Twp. Volunteer Fire Department, Meigs EMS, Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, Meigs County ODOT and Riverside Towing. In an unrelated news release earlier this week, ODOT reminded drivers of work zone safety. With increased construction throughout the state, it’s more important than ever that motorists follow Ohio’s “move over law.” The law requires drivers to move over for any roadside vehicles with ﬂashing lights. If they cannot move over, they must slow down. “Drivers should always pay attention, but work zones require extra attention. Just like you, these workers want to go home at the end of the day,” ODOT Director Jack Marchbanks said. According to ODOT, there were 4,536 work zone crashes in Ohio last year. Of those, 18 crashes were fatal and 96 resulted in serious injuries. ODOT will continue to work with the Ohio State Highway Patrol for targeting enforcement of trafﬁc laws in work zones. Last year, ODOT crews were struck 125 times while on the job. ODOT crews have been hit 52 times already in 2021. A total of 162 ODOT workers have been killed while working to improve Ohio’s roadways.

Mike DeWine, left, received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine from Dr. Kevin Sharrett, in Jamestown, Ohio in February. As of Thursday, 1 in 3 Ohioans has received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, with nearly 20% of the population fully vaccinated, state data shows. Virus cases in Ohio begin to rise again COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — While virus cases and hospitalizations in Ohio begin to rise again, Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday he remains optimistic of the state goal to remove health orders by July 4. “We’re going in the wrong direction and we’re going away from our goal,” DeWine said. ”But we’re not seeing the runaway case growth that we saw during the fall. So we can still turn this around if more people continue to get vaccinated.” He added, “This is a race. We are in a life and death race.” Over the past two weeks, the rolling average number of daily new cases has increased by more than 20%, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins Univer- sity Center for Systems Science and Engineering. As of Thursday, data from the Department of Health and Human Services shows the state is averaging 1,483 current COVID-19 hospitalizations. Health experts like Ohio chief medical ofﬁcer Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff blame this spike on the number of emerging variants in the U.S. These variants are not only proving to be more contagious but are also more deadly, Vanderhoff said during the virus brieﬁng Thursday. “But we can win the race as long as we don’t falter,” Vanderhoff said.” As long as we continue to press on with consistent masking and getting the vaccine.” See VIRUS | 5 Bid awarded for hospital demolition By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners awarded the contract for demolition of the former Veterans Memorial Hospital during Thursday’s meeting, selecting Raze International of Shadyside, Ohio.

By Joseph Pisani, Alexandra Olson and Anne D’Innocenzio AP Retail Writers Workers at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama handed the online retail giant a decisive victory when they voted against forming a union and cut off a path that labor activists had hoped would lead to similar efforts throughout the company and beyond. After months of aggressive campaigning from both sides, 1,798 warehouse workers ultimately rejected the union while 738 voted in favor of it, according to the National Labor Relations Board, which is overseeing the process. Of the 3,117 votes cast, 76 were voided for being ﬁlled out incorrectly and 505 were contested by either Amazon or the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, which led the organizing efforts in Bessemer. But the NLRB said the contested votes were not enough to sway the outcome. About 53% of the nearly 6,000 workers cast their ballots. The union said it Jay Reeves | AP file A banner encouraging workers to vote in labor balloting is shown last month at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Ala. Amazon workers at the warehouse on Friday voted against forming a union, handing the online retail giant a decisive victory and cutting off a path that labor activists had hoped would lead to similar efforts throughout the company and beyond. would ﬁle an objection with the NLRB charging the company with illegally interfering with the union vote. It will seek a hearing with the labor board to determine if the results “should be set aside” after it accused Amazon of spreading disinformation about the unionization effort at meetings that workers were required to attend. “Amazon has left no stone unturned in its efforts to gaslight its own employees. We won’t let Amazon’s lies, deception and illegal activities go unchallenged,” said Stuart Appelbaum, the president of the RWDSU. Amazon said in a statement that it didn’t intimidate employees. “Our employees heard far more antiAmazon messages from the union, policymakers, and media outlets than they heard from us,” the company said. “And Amazon didn’t win — our employees made the choice to vote against joining a union.” The union push was the biggest in Amazon’s 26-year history and only the second time that an organizing effort from within the company had come to a vote. But Bessemer was always viewed as a long shot since it pitted the country’s second-largest employer against warehouse workers in a state with laws that don’t favor unions. Alabama is one of 27 “right-towork” states where workers don’t have to pay dues to unions that represent them.

Historians often pretend that history is all George Washingtons and Susan B. Anthonys, and “in fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue,” but it’s so much more than that. It’s the men and women, young and old, of every race and religion, who made these major historical moments possible. It’s the country blacksmith who never left his town but whose tireless work helped make settlement of that area possible. It’s the grocery store clerks, and the engineers, and the lawyers, and the steelworkers, and the homemakers, and all the other people who helped build and run their city. It’s you and me, and your parents, and your grandparents, and their grandparents, and ancestors you’ve never even heard of. Unfortunately, because of historians’ focus on major events and people, the stories of these regular people are often lost. Unless stories are passed down to kids and grandkids, or snippets make their way into the historical record here and there, someone’s life fades to nothing. These occasional “Stones with Stories” are my way of pushing back, one life at a time. This is the story of Adam Frederick Kisar, an enterprising businessman who worked tirelessly to improve his chosen hometown. Born in 1854 in Somerton, Ohio, little is known of his family history due to a ﬁre at the Belmont County Courthouse that destroyed many records. All that is passed down is that his grandmother was supposedly a lady-in-waiting to Empress Josephine of France, his mother Mary was born in France around 1828 and emigrated to the U.S. where she married a man by HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - The Marshall University community celebrated an evening of “RISING” last Friday at the third annual TEDxMarshallU event. TEDxMarshallU’s talks centered around a wide array of topics, ranging from empowering students by Lt. Chad Napier of Appalachia HIDTA and Handle with Care West Virginia and Dr. Kathy D’Antoni of the Marshall University Board of Governors; rebuilding the Appalachian economy by Lee Farabaugh of CORE10 and Brandon Dennison of Coalﬁeld Development Corp.; the West Virginia Mask Army by Dr. Suzanne Strait of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission and Marshall University; and rising above the stigma of mental illness by Dr. Ashley Perkins, a pharmacist and doctoral student in Marshall’s College of Education and Professional Development. Each topic discussed was connected to the theme “rising,” a dedication to the perseverance and resilience of the community following the 1970 Marshall University tragedy. “In November, we recognized the 50th anniversary of the plane crash, so we knew we wanted our event to be centered around what it means to rise amidst adversity,” said Kelly Leonard, TEDxMarshallU’s co-organizer and Marshall University graduate student. “Our community was so resilient after the crash, which is a testament that you can always rise.” As a tribute to the 1971 players, Young Thundering Herd Head Football Coach Jack Lengyel introduced the event and theme. Former Thundering Herd Assistant Coach Red Dawson and Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce CEO and President Bill Bissett sat down for a ﬁreside chat. Tyce Nielsen and Huntington native Mary (Wolfe) Nielsen of Duo Transcend, cirque-style entertainers and “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” runner-ups, provided the ﬁnal talk of the evening. They discussed rising above failures to transcend with Mary Nielsen concluding with the statement, “don’t be afraid to fall, be afraid of living in regret for never trying to do something extraordinary.” To end the night after the talks, Dr. Allen Meadows, a member of the Young Thundering Herd, announced an upcoming event in September, when a plaque will be unveiled to honor the Young Thundering Herd, and read “Distant Thunder,” a poem written by Bob Compton, another member of the Young Thundering Herd. “I was so pleased with the event,” said Dr. Brian Kinghorn, TEDxMarshallU’s Organizer and assistant professor in Marshall’s College of Education and Professional Development. “Our team was an amazing group to work with and pulled off an extraordinary event, and our speakers did a phenomenal job sharing their RISING ideas with our community and the world.” “I really feel like we all left the event further connected and with fresh, new ideas worth sharing,” Leonard said. “’Ideas worth sharing,’ is, after all, the mission of TED and TEDx,” she added. To continue the three-year tradition of sharing ideas worth sharing, Matt James, TEDxMarshallU co-host and assistant dean of student affairs at Marshall, said Friday that the TEDxMarshallU team soon will be sending out a call for speakers, in which people can pitch to share their ideas at next year’s event. “Everyone has an idea worth sharing, so we welcome everyone to pitch,” Leonard said. “This speaker will be called a crowdsourced speaker as we are relying on others outside our team to help us ﬁnd diverse ideas,” she said. Leonard said she encourages people to follow @tedxmarshallu on social media throughout the summer for news and updates about the crowdsourced speaker.

Additionally, individual speaker videos and photos will be posted to the TEDxMarshallU website and the TEDx YouTube page soon.

Chris Rizer | Courtesy The headstone of Adam Frederick Kisar, an enterprising businessman who worked tirelessly to improve his chosen hometown. the name of Kisar, and his sister Alberta was a Dominican nun in Memphis, Tennessee. The ﬁrst deﬁnite record of his life is his marriage to Anna Rebecca Baker in 1876, with whom he had ﬁve children: Maude (Edward Somerville), Velma (Edward Heiner), Gertrude (died Sister Mary Fredericka of St. Aloysius Academy), Leota (died young), and Adam Frederick Kisar, Jr. (Meda King). By 1880, at the age of 25, he was the owner of a small jewelry store in Ozark, Ohio, where family history says he also taught school. Then, in 1888 or so, perhaps familiar with the construction of both the Kanawha & Michigan and Ohio River Railroads and knowing that the town at their intersection would be growing, Kisar and his family moved to Point Pleasant. Still a young man at only 34, he was warmly welcomed to town and quickly established himself as a modern and skilled jeweler specializing in diamonds. His ﬁrst store opened at 506 Main just before Christmas 1889, and the Weekly Register said it was “all the rage” and “the ﬁnest display ever opened in this town.” Such was his success here that, less than a year later, he began buying property and expanding. In 1890, a ﬁre destroyed the entire west side of Main Street’s 400-block. In the aftermath, Kisar bought the center lot. This is now 415-19 Main, and if you know Main Street, you know how valuable this center lot on the center block of the city’s commercial district truly is. He quickly turned that lot for a proﬁt and in 1891 bought the old Dr. Samuel Shaw property at 3rd and Main. Shaw’s ofﬁce on Main was demolished and a large two-story commercial block built in its place. On the corner (most recently Décor Corner) was Kisar’s jewelry store, where one could buy watches ranging in price from $2.50 to $500 ($70 to $14,600 in today’s dollars). Meanwhile, the old Shaw home, behind the store and facing the Ohio River, went through an intense renovation. A large wing was built to replace the separate summer kitchen, the three main sides were covered in a sleek yellow brick, and the interior was completely gutted and redecorated. The ﬁnal version was what is perhaps the most ornate home in West Virginia, with several rooms clad entirely or partially in ceramic Art Nouveau tiles, wood parquet ﬂoors and ceilings in most of the public spaces, and over two dozen unique ﬁreplaces. (This is the home later owned by Wayne and Margaret Kincaid, and now under restoration by Main Street Point Pleasant.) And these were by no means Kisar’s only enterprises. Soon enough, he owned the Hanley Rink (a community building/theater type building) and had stakes in the Kanawha Furniture Company, Standard Furniture Company, Enterprise Docks, and steamboat Ida Smith. He also, as soon as the lot was developed and the building ﬁnished, repurchased 41519 Main. A busy guy, to be sure. Through his own businesses and properties and his position on the Board of Trade, he was instrumental in developing quite a bit of Point Pleasant, though you wouldn’t know it today by his relatively simple plot in Lone Oak Cemetery or from how few people know his name.

The fair, which opens to limited capacity July 19, usually provides rides, concerts, numerous food vendors and other entertainment.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Lee Elder was 40 years old when he made history as the ﬁrst Black player to tee it up at the Masters, after so many prime years had already been stolen from him by the scourge of racism. When Augusta National ﬁnally extended him the longoverdue honor of serving as an honorary starter, Elder’s fragile, 86-year-old body wouldn’t allow him to take even a single swing alongside Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Sitting in a chair at the ﬁrst tee, an oxygen tube running beneath his nose, Elder listened intently to a glowing introduction by club chairman Fred Ridley before struggling to get his feet Thursday morning. Player reached over to help him up. Elder raised his driver to acknowledge the heartwarming cheers, bit his lip to hold back the tidal wave of emotions, then sat down. “I think that having Lee there was the right thing to do, a nice thing to do,” Nicklaus said. Yet, it also was a sad reminder of how much the game of golf missed by excluding so many for so long. Many of their names came up again on the opening day of the Masters. Nicklaus recalled a Black caddie named Pon, who was on the bag for the Golden Bear’s ﬁrst Masters in 1959. “Pon, that’s all I knew him by,” Nicklaus said. Another Black caddie, Wil- lie Peterson, was at Nicklaus’ side for ﬁve of his six Masters titles, which came during an era when players were required to use a looper who worked at the club. This was a group largely of African Americans who lived in the Augusta area. Many of them were pretty decent players in their own right but never got a chance to show what they could do on the course. Their skin was deemed the wrong color. So they settled for lugging the bags of white golfers. “The trouble that Willie got into — I don’t know who it was matched by, but it was hard to match,” Nicklaus said See ELDER | 9 Guards stayed at Baylor, paving way for Drew’s dream title By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press Becoming national champion was a far-fetched dream when Scott Drew ﬁrst uttered that possibility during his introduction as Baylor’s coach after taking over a decimated and scandal-plagued program nearly 18 years ago. Yet a title felt oh-so-reachable for All-American guard Jared Butler and his backcourt mates MaCio Teague and Davion Mitchell last season, after the Bears set a Big 12 record with 23 consecutive wins while spending ﬁve weeks as the nation’s No. 1 team. Their championship opportunity, however, got instantaneously wiped out by the pandemic and the cancellation of the NCAA Tournament. So they all came back for another season together — and will leave Baylor as national champs. “When you have a goal for that long, we all knew the goal, everybody knew the mission,” said Butler, the Final Four’s most outstanding player. “Everybody sacriﬁced for it, and I think that’s why we’re here today. And just, whew, so glad that everybody came back. We got the band back (together) and we won.” Butler and Teague had both entered their names in the NBA draft last April, but ultimately decided to return with Mitchell for another season with a chance to be the best team ever at Baylor. Led by that dynamic and selﬂess trio of guards, arguably the best in the country, the Bears wrapped a championship season with a dominating 86-70 win over Gonzaga. Baylor had an 11-1 lead at the ﬁrst media timeout and maintained a double-digit margin for all but a couple of minutes the rest of Monday night’s title game. “Coaching is like being a parent, and Christmastime you see the kids opening up presents. You see them excited, you’re excited,” Drew said afterward, the championship net draped around his neck. “And the guys that have sacriﬁced for 18 years leading up to this, and these guys were able to take it home.” The Bears have been to nine NCAA tourneys under Drew, twice making the Elite Eight but losing those regional ﬁnals to eventual national champs Duke in 2010 and Kentucky in 2012.

There was a two-way tie for ﬁrst place at 11-under-par 59, between the team of Charlie Hargraves, Haskel Jones, Bobby Watson and Glenn Long, and the team of Larry Burns, Carl Cline, Dave South and Harry Grifﬁn. The closest to the pin winners were Bill Nease on the ninth hole, and Larry Legg on No. 14. Guards From page 7 There were also tourney-opening losses to 14th-seeded Georgia State in 2015 and 12th-seeded Yale the next year. While every college basketball player is being allowed to retain this season of eligibility because of the pandemic, there is no expectation that junior Butler or senior Teague will bypass the NBA this time. Mitchell, a thirdteam All-American and the national defensive player of the year, strongly indicated last month that he too would leave after this, his junior season. Fifth-year senior Mark Vital, the undersized big man who set a school record being part of 45 Big 12 wins, has no plans to return for a sixth season.

I loved Willie, and I miss him. ” We can only imagine what Peterson and others would’ve brought to the game if allowed to realize their full potential. They loved golf. Too bad it didn’t always love them back. The PGA had a Caucasian-only rule until 1961 — 14 years after Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier. It took another 14 years before the Masters ﬁnally allowed a Black player, extending an invitation to Elder in 1975 after he won the Monsanto Open for his ﬁrst tour victory. Like most Black players of his era, Elder came up through the caddie ranks. He learned the ﬁner points of the game by watching others swing. He took that knowledge to the course in his free time, honing his skills at public facilities that allowed Black golfers to play. “If you played around a lot of the places that I played, you had better be a good golfer, especially if you were trying to hustle a buck or two because there were so many bandits out there,” Elder said. “I’m talking about guys that were real good players that always sat around and waited for somebody to come along.

Edmonton coach Dave Tippett, who has not yet been vaccinated, said the team doctor this week reiterated the importance of adhering to protocols, especially because of Vancouver’s outbreak. “We’ve been concerned since the start of the year,” Tippett said. “We want to try to keep the virus out if we can if all possible, so you recognize when other teams are going through it, you want to try and do whatever you can to stay away from it.” Not that there isn’t concern among the 24 U.S. teams, such as in Detroit where cases are surging, but high levels of vaccination among players and staff provide some comfort. While Red Wings forward Darren Helm was still on the fence, citing recent recovery from COVID19, coach Jeff Blashill got his shot and is a vaccination advocate, along with many around the league who have spoken out to encourage it. “The more people that can get vaccinated, the better chance we can get to all living as closer to normal,” Blashill said. Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour drives past a mass vaccination site outside the arena each day on the way to work and called it a sign of progress. Grateful to get his shot, the Canadaborn Brind’Amour knows the situation isn’t the same back home and is hoping for the best. “It’s a little slower up there,” he said. “You’re just hopeful that we can get it into everybody as quickly as possible.” SAFE.

Among the responses, the Tampa Bay Lightning said some players and staff had been vaccinated, the Rangers said many were getting a shot, the Detroit Red Wings said a majority and the Columbus Blue Jackets a vast majority of players and coaches had received at least one dose. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league is “monitoring, but (the) vaccination process is very much team by team and market by market.” Along with the league, the Players’ Association sent a memo to members and is working to educate them and answer questions about vaccination, which is being handled by individual teams. With U.S. President Joe Biden setting an April 19 deadline for all 50 states and the District of Columbia to open up vaccine eligibility to everyone age 16 and up, the NFL, NBA and MLB — with all teams currently playing in the U.S. — instituted incentives that relax masking and other protocols based on a certain level of personnel being fully vaccinated. Memos were sent to players and teams last week reminding them to adhere to protocols — even if fully vaccinated. University of California-San Francisco epidemiology professor and infectious diseases expert George Rutherford believes incentives work to convince people to get vaccinated but added it doesn’t help when it’s an unlevel playing ﬁeld. “It’s an equity issue because some people When your daily run takes a bad turn OH-KAN COIN CLUB OH-70231023 Saturday, April 10, 2021 9 GALLIPOLIS ATHENS JACKSON MEIGS 100 Jackson Pike 2131 East State Street 280 Pattonsville Road 88 East Memorial Drive Gallipolis, OH 45631 Athens, OH 45701 Jackson, OH 45640 Pomeroy, OH 45769 �Along the River 10 Saturday, April 10, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Making the most of life during the pandemic By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com MIDDLEPORT — The past year has been a challenge for many learning to adapt to the every changing safety requirements and precautions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Those at Inclusions in Middleport are no different, learning to adapt while still meeting the needs of those served by the agency. Inclusions is a day program for those with developmental disabilities, while also providing home services to clients. Mary Miller, who operates Inclusions, said they had to “be creative” during the pandemic, as their clients are used to spending time in the community and going on outings as a group. In the early part of the pandemic, Inclusions was closed for seven weeks, until guidelines and safety precautions were in place to safely reopen. Even while things were shut down at the building, home services continued to clients. “Our staff wanted to continue coming and working with clients,” said Miller. When clients were able to return to the clubhouse, there were new precautions in place, with furniture moved further apart, markings on the ﬂoor for six feet of distance and a limit of 10 people inside at any given time. Since the ﬁrst of the year, capacity limits have changed to allow up to 12 clients and adequate staff to be in the building at any given time. Masks are still required, unless socially distanced or other requirements are met. “Outings have stopped, but we can do a lot outside,” explained Miller. She added they have learned to pitch horseshoes, played outside games such as yard Yahtzee, and bowling. “They have missed a lot of the things that they are used to, like the fair and other festivals, so we created our own carnival in our backyard,” said Miller. She added that they were able to have fair foods, carnival games, prizes and more, with the help of Eastern National Honor Society members. Inside, the clients have Photos courtesy of Mary Miller Making gingerbread houses was one of the holiday activities for clients.

Previously, cooking classes had been taking place weekly, now, the group decides on recipes, but one staff member takes care of the actual cooking. Among some of the favorite new activities during the pandemic have been ﬁshing days at Krodel Park, celebrating lesser known holidays such as Root Beer Float Day, contests for participants, and birthday celebrations with take out from local businesses. They are also working on raised garden beds where each client will be able to plant ﬂowers, vegetables or other items of their choice. “Social distancing has been the hardest part, some understand it, some do not,” said Miller. “For the most part our clients have handled it all very well.” As things have started to open back up, Inclusions participants and Yard activities have taken the place of the outings which clients are used to taking part in. Inclusions clients are pictured with some of the gingerbread houses. Crafts are some of the activities clients can take part in. staff have been able to go on some smaller outings, returning to bowling and other past favorites. Miller explained that before they go, a call is made to the location to determine what social distancing and other precautions are being taken to ensure the safety of everyone taking part. Miller said that upcoming events and activities, such as attending the fair and summer festivals will be determined closer to the event depending on how things are at that time. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

According to a news release from Sprague’s ofﬁce, the monthly recognition program commends organizations, programs, and individuals across the state who are working to guide Ohioans toward ﬁnancial literacy and empowerment. “Effective ﬁnancial literacy education goes beyond teaching stu- dents about personal ﬁnance – it equips them with the skills and knowhow necessary to make informed decisions later in life,” said Treasurer Sprague. “Through the Compass Awards, we’re honoring programs across Ohio that are moving the needle and making a genuine impact on our young people.” Compass Award Honorees for April include: Ohio Valley Bank (Gallia County) Through partnerships with local school districts and a deep involvement in their community, Ohio Valley Bank offers several interactive learning programs that teach ﬁnancial literacy to K-12 students. For elementaryage students, the bank’s Centsables series uses superhero characters to teach basic lessons about savings and credit. Older students participate in the BankIt program, where they receive classroom instruction about personal ﬁnance and apply those concepts through in-depth budget- ing and life simulations.

A subgroup asked for a meeting, which they announced would be held Friday. The neighbors’ spokesman, Bishop Lord, said the fact that the meeting is not taking place is disappointing, but that he hopes a constructive dialogue can take place within the next few weeks. Bishop said he is worried the situation might become “overtly political,” something concerned citizens do not want. He said many signatories to the letter are Husted’s fellow Republicans. In his March 26 tweet, Husted linked to an article in which a former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director, without citing evidence, said the ofﬁcial believed COVID-19 originated in a lab in Wuhan. “So it appears it was the Wuhan Virus after all?” Husted tweeted. Husted has insisted that the tweet was intended to call out the Chinese government, not to sow racial divisions. The post has put him in a political crossﬁre amid rising violence Asian Americans have faced since the coronavirus entered the U.S., with racially motivated harassment and assaults occurring from coast to coast.
