Chinese American Citizens Alliance - Los Angeles is proud to support this important event

Join us for Commemorating Vincent Chin on Tuesday, June 23, from 7 PM to 8 PM at the Rosemead Community Recreational Center (3936 Muscatel Ave, Rosemead). The Chinese American Museum annually dedicates this evening in honor of the life and legacy of Vincent Chin, whose senseless murder in 1982 became a pivotal moment that galvanized the Asian American civil rights movement. This commemoration allows for the reflection of racial inequality and discrimination that continues to persist in today’s highly polarized social climate, just as it did decades before.

The evening’s program will include special remarks from Frank Wu, President of Queens College, and will conclude with a candlelight vigil in remembrance of Vincent Chin.

Interested attendees can rsvp for free at https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/fcamla/commemorating-vincent-chin.

More about the tragic murder of Vincent Chin:

On June 23, 1982, Vincent Chin was violently beaten to death by two white men, Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz, in a racially motivated attack. The tragedy occurred against the backdrop of economic downturn in the United States. Auto companies laid off many American laborers, who directed their anger and blame towards the Japanese auto industry. Vincent Chin’s assailants, Ebens and Nitz, never served jail time and walked free with minimal fines for the senseless murder. The verdict of Chin’s murder trial was perceived as a gross miscarriage of justice and highlighted racial inequities within the American legal system. In response, the Asian American community joined together to mobilize widespread advocacy for justice and underline issues of racial violence and discrimination.

誠邀大家於6月23日（星期二）晚上7時至8時在羅斯密社區康樂中心 (Rosemead Community Recreational Center，地址：3936 Muscatel Ave, Rosemead) 舉行的陳果仁 (Vincent Chin) 紀念活動。華美博物館每年都會舉辦這項活動，以紀念陳果仁的生平與不幸事蹟；他於1982年慘遭殺害，這一悲劇成為推動美國亞裔民權運動發展的關鍵轉捩點。正如幾十年前一樣，在當今社會高度兩極分化的環境中，種族不平等與歧視依然存在，這場紀念活動促使人們對此進行深刻反思。

當晚的活動流程將包括皇后學院 (Queens College) 校長吳華揚 (Frank Wu) 特別致辭，然後以紀念陳果仁的燭光晚會結束。

此活動免費參加，敬請在下列網址預先登記：camla.org/commemoratingvc

關於陳果仁慘案詳情：

1982年6月23日，陳果仁 (Vincent Chin) 在一場帶有種族仇恨動機的襲擊中，被兩名白人男子羅納德．艾班斯 (Ronald Ebens) 及邁克爾．尼茲 (Michael Nitz) 暴力毆打致死。這場悲劇發生的背景是美國經濟陷入低迷；當時，汽車製造商紛紛裁員，許多美國工人將怒火與怨氣發洩到日本汽車產業。殺害陳果仁的兇手艾班斯與尼茲從未坐過一天牢，僅繳納了微薄的罰款便重獲自由。針對陳果仁遇害案的判決被視為嚴重的司法不公，並突顯了美國法律體系內存在的種族不平等問題。為此，美國亞裔社區團結起來，發起了廣泛的爭取正義行動，並著力強調種族暴力與歧視問題。
