Who Is Vincent Chin? The History and Relevance of a 1982 Killing - NBC News

A Vincent Chin Syllabus of sorts--a collection of films and articles to learn more, at NBC Asian America:
“People forget. It’s been a long time ago. A whole generation has passed. It’s ancient history to them," Zia said.

“The Vincent Chin case forced Asian Americans into the civil rights discourse,” Roland Hwang co-founder and former president of American Citizens for Justice told NBC News. “The Vincent Chin case transformed a biracial discussion on race relations to be a multiracial one. So the Vincent Chin case, along with other cases, each serve as a wakeup call to address anti-Asian bias and racial intolerance.”

Remembering Vincent Chin website new url

Small mishap with the Remembering Vincent Chin url.

You can still access the blog from this webpage by clicking the button above.

But RememberingVincentChin.com has been highjacked and no longer works.

UPDATE: For now, I've recovered the content and moved it to RememberingVincentChin.blogspot.com. (Note that original links from way back may not work any more). I will keep it as a resource and archive, but I probably won't maintain it any more.
