The Inter-Asian Council of the Johns Hopkins University will be hosting Curtis Chin, the director of Vincent Who? and will be holding a showing of the documentary with Q&A session afterward.
Who is Vincent Chin?
Vincent Chin was a Chinese American living in Detroit. In 1982 he was brutally assaulted by two drunk men, former autoworkers who had recently been laid off due to the competition experienced by Japanese automakers. The two men saw Vincent and believed him to be Japanese and proceeded to attack him. Vincent Chin died in the incident.
25 Years Later
Vincent Chin never saw justice. Both men were eventually acquitted of all charges in 1986. Today, this case not only is an injustice to not only the Asian American communities but to others as well. Especially in Baltimore, where racial profiling and tensions in the community still exist, it is an important issue to discuss.
