	Remembering Vincent: From Square One to Justice
		On June 19, 1982, Vincent Chin, a Chinese American, was murdered in Detroit by two white autoworkers who had reportedly mistaken him as Japanese and blamed him for their plight.
		Vincent's murder was a major catalyst in galvanizing concerned citizens across the country, and continues to drive the Asian American movement.
		The 20th anniversary of Vincent's death and the importance of organized, protracted action for justice is underscored by the untimely death of Lily Chin, the mother of Vincent, who passed away on June 9, 2002.

		Vincent Chin (陳果仁) (1955 - June 23, 1982) was a Chinese American industrial draftsman killed in 1982 in suburban Detroit, Michigan by two white autoworkers - Chrysler plant superintendent Ronald Ebens and his recently laid off step-son, Michael Nitz.
		Chin tried to escape, but was held by Nitz while Ebens repeatedly bludgeoned Chin with a baseball bat.
		The case of Vincent Chin became a rallying point for the Asian Pacific American community and is often considered the beginning of the pan-Asian American movement.

	Vincent Gigante - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vincent "the Chin" "Gigs" Gigante (March 29, 1928– December 19, 2005) was a notorious Mafioso who headed the Genovese crime family for years, at times while in prison.
		His mother usually addressed him as "Cincenzo," a diminutive of Vincente, and his boyhood friends shortened that into his lifelong nickname, "Chin." Gigante dropped out of Textile High School in Manhattan in the ninth grade and became a protégé of Vito Genovese.
		Vincent "Fish" Cafaro, a ranking member of the Genovese family, became a cooperating witness and revealed that Gigante had been the boss since 1981 and that Salerno had been acting as a front man. However, charging and convicting somebody who, like Gigante, exhibited all the hallmarks of mental illness was going to be very difficult.

		that drew parallels to the Vincent Chin case was the killing of Kao Kuan Chung in April of 1997.
