Illinois Lawmakers Discuss Hate Crimes

On the year anniversary of six women being killed in a mass shooting directed Asian Americans, lawmakers in Illinois say more still needs to be done to combat the hate that is directed towards Asian populations.

 

Sharon Chung, a board member in McClean County, says she’s dealt with online aggression towards her.

 

 

Chung says the passage of the TEACH act last year – directing schools to include Asian American history in lesson plans is a good start to combating some of the hate directed towards Asian’ communities.
