Vincent Who? at the NAPABA conference

Hey folks. The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association is having their annual in convention in Los Angeles this week. They've actually asked us to screen parts of "Vincent Who?" as their plenary session at Friday lunch. (It's a last-minute addition and we're still working out some of the details.) Anyway, stop by and say hello if you can. Here is the press release that NAPABA just sent out.

It all started with a simple goal: to remember Vincent Chin.

In 2007, on the 25th anniversary of his death, Asian Pacific Americans for Progress organized a series of fourteen townhalls around the country to discuss the impact of his life and legacy. We gathered many of the leading civil rights leaders in our community to ask how far had we come and how far we had yet to go. From those discussions came our award-winning documentary, "Vincent Who?", which has now toured to over 130 colleges, libraries and law firms around the country.


SF Screening of Vincent Who?

 


Vincent Chin and his Unintended Gift

Today, I was able to catch a screening of Curtis Chin's "Vincent Who?" at the UCLA School of Law and to make sure I would make it to the screening on time, I left two hours in advance but thanks to my terrible driving, atrocious traffic at the 405, and my unfamiliarity with the UCLA campus, what should've taken 25 minutes ended up taking two hours.

A New Documentary on Asian American Pacific Islander Empowerment

Over 25 years ago, the hate crime murder of Vincent Chin in Detroit galvanized the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. This new 40-minute documentary, winner of the Media Award from the National Association for Multicultural Education, looks back at the movement that started from the case and asks how far we have come and how far we still need to go.
