Knabe Park in Cerritos was site of violent attack on an Asian man earlier this year
Cerritos, CA—Tomorrow morning, LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn and local leaders will dedicate a new mural in response to the rise of Anti-Asian hate and violence in the community. The building-sized mural has been installed in Knabe Regional Park in Cerritos, the same location where an Asian man was violently attacked earlier this year.
The semi-permanent mural will live at the current location for two years. It is the result of a partnership between the Office of Supervisor Janice Hahn and LA Vs Hate, the County’s artist-driven campaign to respond to hate and support communities.
