This year marks the passing of Vincent Chin 39 years ago. On Saturday, June 19, 2021, the Association of Chinese Americans, Inc. will host a webinar entitled “The Legacy of Vincent Chin: Resistance, Remembrance, Renewal" to discuss what the Vincent Chin case means for Asian American activism today—and in the future. The event will take place at 2 PM Eastern via Zoom.

The panel will feature activist and author Helen Zia; attorney and University of Michigan A/PIA Studies lecturer Roland Hwang; and attorney Jim Shimoura. Zia, Hwang, and Shimoura led the campaign for justice for Vincent Chin, and they continue to champion equality and civil rights protections for Asian Americans. They will be joined by two emerging voices in the AAPI community: Anna Dang (Southeast Asia Resource Action Center) and Anna Lin (Association of Chinese Americans). The panelists will commemorate Chin’s life and the AAPI community’s resistance to racism; and discuss strategies for renewing AAPI commitment to social justice and equity in the 21st century in light of the recent surge in anti-Asian bias, as well as national conversations about systemic racism, police violence, and immigration reform.
