On June 23, 1982, Chinese American Vincent Chin died from injuries he suffered from a beating just outside a Detroit strip club four days before. The atmosphere of anger stemmed in part by the rising success of the Japanese auto industry in symphony with the decline of U.S. fortunes many believe contributed to the motive behind the beating by laid off White auto workers. I can never ever imagine Vincent's thoughts to see the angry mob approaching ready to commit a heinous assault just because of his race. Unfortunately, the scales of justice did not work for various reasons especially with nobody serving a significant amount of time in jail. On the positive end, Chin's death opened the floodgates to a social movement that will last for generations to come .
