Chin&#8217;s killers, however, got off with a $3,000 fine and 3 years probation, but no jail time. Outraged by this injustice, Asian Americans around the country united for the first time across ethnic and socioeconomic lines to form a pan-Asian identity and civil rights movement. Ultimately, <em>Vincent Who?<\/em> asks how far Asian Americans have come since the case and how far they have yet to go. For in spite of Vincent Chin&#8217;s monumental significance in both the Asian American experience and the civil rights history of America, the vast majority of people today (including most Asian Americans) have little or no knowledge of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday, May 23, 2022: Community Discussion Panel <\/strong>(5:30\u20148:00pm) <a href=\"https:\/\/events.tadl.org\/event\/community-conversations-asian-and-pacific-american-heritage-month-1\"><strong>Register here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Community Panel Discussion with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sakura Takano, Rotary Charities of Traverse City<\/li>\n<li>Amy Yee, Amy Yee Bodyworks<\/li>\n<li>Craig Hadley, Dennos Museum at NMC<\/li>\n<li>Tony Vu, The Good Bowl<\/li>\n<li>Denny Nguyen, NMC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>along with moderators Judy Chu, NMC and Holly T.
