Just how prescient Uncle #VincentChin was.
"The fire will last forever
And my love will never die
As long as we have each other
As long as we both try
[...]
So stay with me
And we'll face the tomorrows
To find if our love
Can overcome the sorrows
Remember me always
For my love for you is true"

As Asian American Christians, we refuse to be silent. We rise in faith, hope, and the relentless pursuit of justice. We commit to our calling to be
peacemakers in a broken world.

Vincent’s death sparked a civil rights movement — one that still echoes today.
Never forget.

#VincentChin was murdered by two #WhiteSupremacists on this day in 1982, galvanizing the #AsianAmerican community in Detroit; the murderers escaped justice but the pursuit of justice for all #API victims of hate in his name goes on; never forget~!

THE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE
The injustice that followed Vincent Chin's murder sparked a movement that changed American civil rights forever.
How do we ensure justice for hate crime victims today?

Today should have been Vincent Chin's 70th birthday.

Congrats @AAJA @uclaaasc on release of “Intersections: A Journalistic History of Asian Pacific America.” Thanks for inviting me to contribute a chapter on #vincentchin. What an honor! Order here: aaja.org/40th/intersections
Preparing to teach about #VincentChin tomorrow and found out the FBI released an extensive file on #Chin this past June?! 602 page document containing FBI memos, letters, interview notes, witness reports, etc, including docs not seen before. Check it out: vault.fbi.gov/vincent-chin...
At this moment, #VincentChin should be happily enjoying his retirement, with his wife of 42 years.
He isn't, because of America.

On this 40th anniversary of your murder, cousin #VincentChin, I promise we will live our lives fiercely, fight for all the life you should have had, & for the life you & your mother, Lily, wanted for all of us here. #VincentChin40 @vincentchinlgcy...
On Metro North to New Haven & Int'l Festival of @ArtIdea commemorating my cousin Vincent Chin today, the 39th anniversary of his brutal beating murder, & great-auntie Lily Chin who went all over to tell Vincent's story. Rest in power #vincentchin & Lily Chin. Thx @GottaTravelSolo
I spoke today that during an economic crisis of the 80s Asian Americans were scapegoated, like today, which led to my cousin #vincentchin murdered in 1982. Racial justice coalitions fought too for Vincent Chin, e.g. Jesse Jackson holding my great-auntie Lily Chin here. 1/4
Really great article on Asian Americans & the prison abolition movement frm @truthout 2016! We have to rethink my cousin Vincent Chin's legacy and what justice looks like outside our punitive prison systems. #VincentChin #8toAbolition Thanks @CriticalRace!...
Within a week of my #AkaiGurley #PeterLiang #VincentChin article, I knew.
I needed to move home to NYC.
I needed to build relationships w/ my family & my Chinatown & Asian American community.
Ask the hard questions.
That's the only way we build up #Asians4BlackLives. 17/
I wrote my #AkaiGurley #PeterLiang #VincentChin #Asians4BlackLives article in English, not expecting anyone in my family to (be able to) read it as they don't speak English. I thought I could be the liberal radical human I am away from my fam...
...nope. You can't do that. 10/
And, if you enjoyed the doc series, I'll plug it one more time, that unfortunately there wasn't enough time in #AsianAmPBS episode 5 for my interview, so here's my @PBS digital feature on #VincentChin and Lily Chin, my #AsianAmerican family's legacy....
Generally themes I tweet about are equity- what does equity look like in our society, and how can people get what they need? Topics I'm known for- #resistTFA, #educolor #writing #teaching #AAPI #Asians4BlackLives #BLM #SaveSpecialEd #unions #DefendDiversity #SHSAT #VincentChin.
I'm on @TheMoth Radio Hour this week!!! Listen at https://beta.prx.org/stories/253066 or on your local radio station all this week! I tell a story about my family history and #VincentChin: "Annie Tan stokes the fire of her curiosity, but uncovers a dark moment in her family’s...
Excited to be co-moderating tonight's #educolor discussion around coalition-building between communities of color.
My stance? Probably my best-known writing to date was around Peter Liang and Akai Gurley https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/9299860 #BLM #AAPIs4BlackLives #VincentChin...
So grateful for Helen Zia, all the work she's done for the movement, and for her love of my family. Mom says I should call her auntie. #VincentChin

Cathy Dang @caaav- we can't address violence until we address the system that perpetuates the violence #vincentchin
