On Wednesday, October 28th, 2009, the Asian Student Alliance at the University of Denver will be hosting Curtis Chin, brother of Vincent Chin, producer of Vincent Who? and political activist based in Los Angeles. Curtis will be speaking and presenting the documentary, “Vincent Who?” This documentary reminds the population about the murder of Vincent Chin. The event take place at Craig Hall from 6pm to 8pm.

In 1982, Vincent Chin was murdered in Detroit by two white autoworkers at the height of anti-Japanese sentiments. For the first time, Asian Americans around the country galvanized to form a real community and movement. This documentary, inspired by a series of town halls organized by Asian Pacific Americans for Progress on the 25th anniversary of the case, features interviews with the key players at the time, as well as a whole new generation of activists. “Vincent Who?” asks how far Asian Americans have come since then and how far we have yet to go.
