Percussion with a purpose: A member of Positive Movement Drumline, an organization dedicated to inspiring youth through music and community engagement, plays through the rain as crowds chant “When our culture is under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back.” In July 2022, Philadelphia 76ers’ managing partners David Blitzer and Josh Harris announced a plan to build 76 Place, an approximately $1.3 billion privately funded stadium for the team. “An arena seems like a very exciting thing on the surface, but I think that there isn't a place or circumstance in which having something fun and exciting could ever really trump all the damage that it would create to this entire community,” senior and Co-Vice President of Conestoga's Asian Student Alliance Audrey Nguyen said.
