CNN segment on Vincent Chin case today

Check out this Richard Lui piece on the Vincent Chin case today on CNN, with our Roland Hwang, former mayor Dennis Archer, APACC's Denise Yee, and APAP's Vincent Who?

Introducing ACJ to CNN's Richard Lui

Roland Hwang and Frances Wang were interviewed today by Richard Lui of CNN at the Detroit Historical Museum about the Vincent Chin case. We visited the exact spot where Vincent Chin was beaten to death with a baseball bat in 1982. I wish this wasn't necessary.

Meanwhile, check out the new case about Luis Ramirez in Pennsylvania--the drunken white teenagers who beat this 25-year-old Latino immigrant father of three to death were acquitted of all serious charges, including ethnic intimidation and third-degree murder. The parallels to the Vincent Chin case are chilling.
