Tonight ABC News presents a live "20/20" primetime special on the aftermath of the Atlanta mass shooting and the increase in anti-Asian American hate crimes around the country. Anchored live by "Nightline" co-anchor Juju Chang in Atlanta and anchor David Muir and correspondent Eva Pilgrim in New York, the special will also feature reporting by correspondent Steve Osunsami and ABC journalists across the country, including WPVI-TV Philadelphia's Nydia Han, WABC-TV New York's CeFaan Kim and KGO-TV San Francisco's Dion Lim. "20/20" will trace the timeline of events surrounding the deadly shootings and take a closer look into the spas at which the shootings took place. The program will also dive into the racist stereotypes perpetuated in pop culture; the recent events, including politicians' use of racist rhetoric during COVID-19, that have contributed to the rise in anti-Asian American hate crimes; the fear and pain sweeping the nation; activism coming out of the AAPI community; and more. "Murder in Atlanta," a special edition of "20/20," airs tonight, March 19 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC.
