Today is the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. What happened was horrific. And then came a second wave: Muslim, Arab, South Asian, and Sikh Americans were targeted for how they looked, dressed, or prayed. I put together this website to share just a few of those stories… post911.org

It was a fall 2001 report listing 645 backlash hate incidents from the first week after 9/11. The stories are difficult to read, but they're evidence of the first phase of the backlash, before mass surveillance of Muslims, political repression, special registration of boys/men, and war on terror.

The attacks took place all over the U.S. For every incident that made the news, countless more went unreported. A few folks in impacted communities don't know it happened. Some were too young, and others were new immigrants. More on the community hub: southasiancoalition.org/25-years-lat...
