Documentary Screening & Discussion
“Vincent Who?”
Join us on Thursday, February 5, 2015 at 7 pm in the Woodbury Room for a screening of Vincent Who?, the fifth in a film & discussion series being held over several months which look at issues of race.
A facilitated discussion will be held after the screening.
Vincent Who? is a powerful film about the
1982 murder in Detroit of Vincent Chin by two white autoworkers. The
film explores this event through interviews with the key players at the
time, as well as a whole new generation of activists
whose lives were impacted by Vincent Chin. It also looks at the case in
relation to the larger narrative of Asian American history, in such
events as Chinese Exclusion, Japanese American Internment in WWII, the
1992 L.A. Riots, anti-Asian hate crimes, and
post-9/11 racial profiling.
Free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Janet Ryan at 413/259-3223.
This film series is co-sponsored by the Jones Library and The Coming Together Project.
