(WWJ) – Sunday marked 40 years since the beating of Vincent Chin, an Asian-American student at Lawrence Tech University.
Just days before he was set to be married, Chin was beaten by two auto employees in Highland Park that were apparently angry about the rise of the Japanese automobile. Chin died four days later.
In a new edition of The Daily J podcast, WWJ’s Zach Clark examines Chin’s murder, looking at the racial motivation behind it, and why it’s still important four decades later.
