## Caption

⁠Hundreds reportedly attended the Lantern Festival for Justice and Remembrance at Edgemont Memorial Park in Montclair to honor victims of violence and injustice, including anti-Asian hate.⁠
⁠
“It’s one of the few times of the year where I feel like there are a lot of the Asian community all in one place,” Chris Lin, a resident of Glen Ridge, told News 12 New Jersey. “There’s not a high percentage of Asians in New Jersey where we live. It just feels like there’s lots of us in one place, it really feels like community and special.”⁠
