CT Humanities-funded Immigrant History Initiative (IHI) is partnering with acclaimed film director Christine Choy to create the official lesson plans accompanying Who Killed Vincent Chin?, the 1987 Oscar-nominated documentary that tells the story of the murder of Vincent Chin.
Vincent Chin was a Chinese American man murdered by two white men in Detroit, Michigan on June 19, 1982. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Vincent Chin’s murder, IHI is creating a comprehensive curriculum using exclusive access to film clips and materials to effectively introduce Who Killed Vincent Chin? and its timely themes about anti-Asian hate to new generations of youth, parents, families, and educators.
