Event #1
In Retrospect: "Who Killed Vincent Chin?"
Thursday, August 11 6:30 PM (Discussion/Q&A); 7:30 PM (Film screening) RenCen4 Theatre, Renaissance Center, Detroit
PRESENTERS: RICHARD LUI, ANCHOR, MSNBC CORRESPONDENT; CHRISTINE CHOY, DIRECTOR, "WHO KILLED VINCENT CHIN?"; ROLAND HWANG, ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, MICHIGAN; TI-HUA CHANG, GENERAL ASSIGNMENT & INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, WNYW, FOX 5; HELEN ZIA, AUTHOR, ACTIVIST AND FORMER EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF MS. MAGAZINE
Co-sponsored by The Ford Foundation, WXYZ-TV & Scripps Howard Foundation, join the Asian American Journalists Association in community partnership with the Korematsu Institute for Civil Rights and Education and the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice for an evening of seasoned dialogue and a rare screening of the 1987 Academy Award-nominated documentary, "Who Killed Vincent Chin?". The program will revisit what happened in 1982, explore some of the issues that spawned an Asian American civil rights movement, and how Chin's case has served as a lesson that transcends Asian American communities today. In 1982 Vincent Chin was a Chinese American beaten to death in the Detroit, Michigan enclave of Highland Park. The murder generated public outrage over the lenient sentencing of the two men who killed him--Chrysler plant superintendent Ronald Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz. Both were acquitted of all charges in the federal case and received only three years probation in the state trial. The murder took place during a climate of intense anti-Asian sentiment directed at the Japanese who were blamed for taking jobs from American workers. Many of the layoffs in Detroit's auto industry, including Nitz's in 1979, had been due to the increasing market share of Japanese automakers, leading to allegations that Chin, received racially charged comments before his death. This panel/film screening is a community program offered by AAJA and is free and open to the public CO-SPONSORED BY WXYZ-TV & SCRIPPS HOWARD FOUNDATION, THE FORD FOUNDATION; IN-KIND SPONSORS FILMAKERS LIBRARY & SWANK AV

AAJA
The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) was founded in 1981 by a few Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) journalists who felt a need to support one another and to encourage more Asian American and Pacific Islanders to pursue journalism at a time when there were few Asian American and Pacific Islander faces in the media. AAJA owes its founding to the vision of a small group of Los Angeles journalists. They included Tritia Toyota and Frank Kwan of KNBC-TV News; Bill Sing, Nancy Yoshihara and David Kishiyama of the Los Angeles Times; and, Dwight Chuman of Rafu Shimpo, a local Japanese American Newspaper. AAJA's expansion into a truly national organization took off in 1985 with the formation of additional chapters.
As a non-profit educational organization with more than 1,400 members in 21 chapters across the U.S. and Asia, AAJA's largest membership bases are generally concentrated in metropolitan areas on the West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle), East Coast (New York City and Washington, D.C.) and Mid-West (Chicago). Members are also organized in other areas throughout the U.S. (Arizona, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Florida, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, New England, North Carolina, Philadelphia, Portland, Sacramento, Texas, and San Diego).
In addition, AAJA has a growing number of members working throughout Asia -- in Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangladesh, which underscores the rapid growth of media properties in Asia and points the way to future expansion of the organization. Close to one-third of AAJA's members are students, attesting to the organization's emphasis on bringing young people into the news business. AAJA has also relied on leadership in the community and Asian-language media.
