Vincent Chin 30: Standing Up Then and Now

APABA is a proud community co-sponsor of Vincent Chin 30: Standing Up Then and Now.

On June 23, 1982, Vincent Chin died in Detroit, the victim of a hate crime murder. Thirty years later, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders continue to face discrimination and bullying. In light of recent tragedies like the extreme hazing of Pvt. Danny Chen and the continuing effects of 9/11, what can Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and allies do to stand up against racism and discrimination?

Please join us for a one-hour panel discussion via a live, national-wide Google Hangout on Air with leading voices from the nonprofit and legal communities as we address these timely issues.

11:00 am - national google hangout on air event
