This year, the Asian Night Sponsorship Team has been supporting Small Businesses in Chinatown through a social media campaign project. During the COVID-19 pandemic, small businesses have closed their doors to keep their employees and customers safe. Attached are the posters we have curated. Included on each poster is a description of the restaurant, a popular dish, and location. These businesses are at the heart of our Chinatown and no one wants to see them close. To help them stay operated, our support from the community is needed.
If all had gone as planned, BLS would have been an explosion of Asian-American talent, culture, and community on the night of May 8. Unfortunately, a certain virus had other plans. Boston Latin School closed on March 16 and did not open for the rest of the year, so we were unable to hold Asian Night in person. Still, we persevered and produced this lovely video to commemorate the work our executive board and other student groups had already put into the event before the lockdown. Feel free to watch below :)
Thank you to everyone who put in so much work to prepare for Asian Night this year. I wish we could have celebrated together, but this will have to do. Stay tuned to BLS A.S.I.A. in the coming year for more (remote) programming and community!
