Join Eaton Impact for a film screening of "Vincent Who?" followed by a panel discussion with the producer, Curtis Chin on #StopAsianHate In 1982, at the height of anti-Japanese sentiments, Vincent Chin was murdered in Detroit by two white autoworkers who said, "it's because of you mother** that we're out of work." When the judge fined the killers a mere $3,000 and three years probation, Asian Americans around the country galvanized for the first time to form a real community and movement.
