The unassuming beige facade of Chinatown’s Industrial and Commercial Bank of China has gotten brighter with new faces, floral arrangements and San Francisco landmarks in the form of a student-inspired mural.
The “AAPI Community Heroes Mural” is unveiled at Jackson and Grant streets on Wednesday.
Concepts for the mural began during the pandemic, when incidents of anti-Asian American violence rapidly increased. To counteract misinformation, xenophobia and racial targeting, organizers sought to celebrate AAPI leaders largely unsung in U.S. history and curricula. At the unveiling, District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin pointed out to the crowd that they stood on the border of Chinatown and historic Manilatown.Lazam recounted the morning she and so many others were evicted in 1977. “The sun wasn’t shining for us at the International Hotel. It was gray, it was misty and it was very cold.”
