Vincent Who at U of M: March 24th
The Asian American Studies Program of the University of Minnesota is one of several departments sponsoring the screening of 'Vincent Who?' with a live discussion with director Curtis Chin next Wednesday on March 24th at 4:00 PM at the University of Minnesota (330 Anderson Hall). The film centers on the journey of Asian Americans since the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin, who was killed in Detroit by two laid-off autoworkers who mistook him for Japanese. Or, perhaps, were simply indifferent. Vincent's killers served no jail time, were given three years probation, fined $3,000 and ordered to pay $780 in court costs. But they have never paid a dime and still walk free.
