    We condemn the endless lies that @SmithsonianAPA has fed the press and public. This has never been a conversation. This has never been about postponement. This has never been about lack of preparation. This is not an inconvenience, this is violence.

    On July 5th, we made the difficult decision to postpone the Asian American Literature Festival. We recognize the inconvenience, frustration, and disappointment this caused participants and the literary community.

    Today, we remember those who peacefully protested at Tiananmen but were met with violence repression. We stand in solidarity with continued struggles for democracy. This thread revisits pieces from The Margins that respond to June 4th, 1989 and its sustained relevance. #六四
