At this point in time, Asian American Studies isn't widely available in public or private schools. Therefore, the story surrounding the death of Vincent Chin in the 1980's has been lost even though it has been acknowledged as the start of the modern Asian American Civil Rights Movement. Mr. Chin was killed by two unemployed Detroit auto workers who felt displaced by the influx of Japanese autos into the American market. They misidentified Mr. Chin as Japanese and proceeded to vent their rage on him. The killers spent very little time in prison and were fined a few thousand dollars. Vincent Chin was killed a few days before his wedding day and was buried in his wedding suit.
