Organizers were unsure if the City Heights Lunar New Year Festival should continue as planned. But then, the phone started ringing. The mayor's office and the police station told event organizers they would make sure their events stayed safe.
“We had the mayor's office calling us and the police station here and officers called me and told us they would make sure our event is safe,” said Nguyen.
“We celebrate it and at the same time we share it with the people because we are fighting racism, so this is the best thing we can do,” said Nguyen.“It's definitely very heartbreaking but it didn't stop me from wanting to come here today and support my community and show, ‘Hey just because one person doesn't want us to celebrate and be together, that's not going to stop me,” said Rose Le, a festival attendee.
