Vincent Chin

40th Anniversary

June 23rd, 2022

Vincent Chin was a 27-year-old Chinese American attending his all-American bachelor party in Detroit on June 19, 1982 to celebrate his upcoming wedding. That night, he was brutally beaten to death by two white men, with a baseball bat at a time of intense anti-Asian hate. The killers, Ebens and Nitz, were sentenced to three years’ probation and $3000 in fines. Vincent’s tragic murder and unbelievably light sentence rallied Asian Americans nationwide to fight for justice and launch a movement.

Join us on Thursday, June 23rd across the country for a screening of ‘Who Killed Vincent Chin?’ and hear from the activists who led the movement 40-years ago.
