🕯️Today marks the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks #September11 in NYC

🇹🇼🇺🇸 As we mourn the victims, I wish to shed light on the impact of 9/11 on Chinese and Taiwanese American cmmnts

2/3
Attacks on #TwinTowers paralyzed Manhattan #Chinatown:mere blocks away from #GroundZero. Streets were blocked, no traffic was permitted, phones were cut off.

Yet, the govt didn't designate 華埠 as a #WTC disaster area site unlike other more affluent areas of Downtown
3/3
And even though the #social and #economic impact of this atrocious event still affects the #community, its voices have been excluded from the mainstream narrative about #Sep11

#Subaltern needs a platform speak! …also on 9/11.
Thanks to @mocanyc for amplifying 🇹🇼🇺🇸 voices
