video: "vincent chin" by model minority


More commemorating the anniversary of Vincent Chin's death... The guys of Asian American hip hop crew Model Minority present "Vincent Chin" -- their take on case and its enduring legacy, appropriately remixed to Fort Minor's "Kenji" and set to haunting images from the documentary Who Killed Vincent Chin? Take a look:



Powerful stuff. All these years laters, I still feel that pang of pain when I see the anguished face of Vincent Chin's mother Lily Chin. As tragic and senseless as his death was, we can at least take comfort that his story continues to inspire new generations of activists -- but only if our community doesn't relent in spreading the word. Nice work, guys.
