#february2020 @oaklandasiancc #booktalk @gishjen #theresistors with @helenziareal. I actually first learned of #gishjen from Shuang Wu @suvituulisuvi, who told me that she was her favorite writer. To meet her in person, hear her story, and her journey through her most recent book, was truly remarkable. A brilliant conversation between Gish and #HelenZia. I was happy to have made it back up to the #bayarea #oakland #latepost #precovid19 (at Oakland Asian Cultural Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL3d18vp70o/?igshid=1kn5qmd6joywg

June 19, 1982. Detroit native, Vincent Chin was beaten to death with baseball bat by Ronald Ebens & Michael Nitz because he was Asian. They pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 3 years probation because the judge said they were “good guys”. 6/19/82 Vincent and his friends were out celebrating his bachelor party. He was to be married the next week. #iamvincentchin #asianamerican #helenzia #itsnotfair #neverforget #detroit #highlandpark (at Highland Park, Michigan)
