Just to start, you can reflect on the Vincent Chin case — its legacy, its relevance to today’s civil rights climate. In the broader view, the Vincent Chin case continues to be relevant as many of the economic factors and conditions of 1982 exist today as America competes in a globalized economy. A discourse on the case can lead to a wider public discourse and an examination among APA brothers and sisters about the condition of APA civil rights. Are we better off in terms of understanding race relations and achieving tolerance than the time of Vincent Chin death 26 years ago? If you struggle with the answer to that question, or if you are unfamiliar with the case’s background, issues and historic importance to the Asian American movement, take the opportunity to see the movie “Who Killed Vincent Chin?” by Renee Tajima Pena and Christine Choy, and the upcoming film “Vincent Who?” by Tony Lam — coming to a venue near you this year.
