June 19, 2010 marks the 28th anniversary of the hate crime murder of Vincent Chin, a case that ignited the first Asian American civil rights movement and gave rise to a new “Asian American” identity and community. In commemoration, Vincent Who? (the 2009 documentary about Vincent Chin and the Asian American experience in political activism) is being released in a Special Edition DVD. Along with the DVD, a new website dedicated to Vincent Chin and his legacy was launched to serve as an educational resource. See the website here. (While you’re on the site, check out the dope section of Asian American role models here.
In doing so, we hope to contribute toward the day when the momentous, but mostly unknown story of Vincent Chin becomes a familiar one, not only among Asian Americans, but all Americans. Please join us in this effort by spreading the news.
