Following the release of a video months after the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, a black jogger in Georgia, religious leaders have raised their voices to ask questions about how and why he died.

On May 7, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced it had charged two white men, Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, with murder and aggravated assault in the case, more than two months after Arbery’s death in Brunswick.

Back in February, law student Winn Periyasamy and her friends grabbed dinner in Manhattan’s Chinatown to show their support and dispel racist myths that those businesses were less safe than others. It wasn’t long until the crew, a group of self-described policy advocates, began hatching a scheme.

What if they organized a food crawl to bring business to Chinatown while also raising awareness about emerging racism and xenophobia?
