Hey All-

HLNY!!!!

Just a quick request...

I think most of yall don't me but I'm a Korean-adoptee from East Detroit and one of Kate/Scott/Emily friends from and now living in LA since the Vincent Chin event back in 2002.

Curtis Chin (his parent's had a resturant in the Cass Corridor/Old Chinatown) from Asian Pacific Americans for Progress is doing a doc on Vincent Chin and wanted to know if any of yall know Vincent's aunt and would be willing to visit her to choose pictures that will be in the film?
If you are willing or know of someone please let me know...

peace & blessings,

See how this tragic story about racial justice, civil rights, and the value accorded by society to people of color is as timely today as it was 25 years ago. On June 19, 1982, a 27-year-old Chinese-American, Vincent Chin was celebrating his last days of bachelorhood in a Detroit bar. After getting into an argument with Chin, Ron Ebens, a Chrysler Motors foreman shouted ethnic insults and then bludgeoned Chin to death with a baseball bat. In a travesty of justice, Ebens was tried and let off with a suspended sentence and a small fine. Outrage filled the community, inspiring civil rights protests nationwide that marked the rise of the pan-Asian American Movement
