Last year we saw protests and conversations around racism, particularly anti-Black racism, in America following the death of George Floyd. In 2020, we also saw a sharp rise in racially-motivated violence towards Asian Americans. KEXP’s Tia Ho spoke with KEXP’s Gabriel Teodros and artist Kimmortal on a song they collaborated on that was inspired by the need for Black and Asian solidarity.
