Best of MURDERISH - E104 Vincent Chin: “Modern Day Lynching”

Since the 1880s, immigrants from all over the globe have arrived in the United States hoping to attain a

better quality of life, the American Dream. Like so many immigrants before them, Lily and Ben Chin

wanted their son Vincent to have more opportunities than he may have had in their native China. In the

1970s and 1980s, however, tensions were high between Japanese and American automobile

manufacturers, and that discord extended beyond the auto manufacturing plants. It was at this time that

27-year-old Vincent Chin found himself in peril on the streets of Motor City. His story reminds us why this

landmark case is still relevant more than 40 years later.
