We invite you to join us on Saturday, March 27, on the Stoneham Common to honor the lives of Asians and Asian Americans who have suffered acts of violence and hate. You are encouraged to bring a flower in memory of those recently killed in Atlanta.

From 2 to 4 p.m. the memorial on the Common will be open, with informational displays and opportunities for conversation. At 2:30 the names of victims will be read, followed by remarks by Calvin Fergins, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Stoneham.

Please join us in solidarity with our Asian/Asian American neighbors and friends.
