Vincent Chin Protest
The murder of Vincent Chin and the subsequent sentence of his attackers (probation and a fine) brought Asian Americans together in protest and supported the growing realization that they could be a more effective political force if they worked together. (Courtesy of Helen Zia)
Members of Willy Lin’s Kung-fu School loosen up before class at the corner of Sixth and H Streets in Northwest Washington, ca. 1971. At this time, the local Asian Pacific American community was represented by restaurants that spanned more than one nation of origin, with African Americans and APAs participating in joint activities.
