On a personal note, sometimes I feel like a broken record telling the story of my cousin Vincent Chin and his mother, my great aunt Lily Chin, but I realized through the first 2 hours of #AsianAmPBS that I have to keep telling the story because people still need to hear it. 1/3

Asian Americans were seen as outsiders, dreamers, but we were always Americans. Claiming space, striving for justice, for rights for all people. We don't have to be victims- we're not going away. We have endless possibilities! (We really do!)

Oct 2001: Ansar Mahmood was taking photos for his family, arrested, cleared, then pushed to be deported. "Free Ansar" movement happens, but fails.
DREAM Act doesn't have enough votes to go into law. DREAMers organize.

9/11. People beat up, killed because they look brown, Muslim, Middle Eastern.
@harikondabolu: You get victimized twice: scared of terrorism, then America hates you.
Surveillance process after 9/11; immigration's about deporting people. DREAM Act was cancelled.

LA cases of police beating of Rodney King! Soon Ja Du shooting Latasha Harlins in the head. Looting, burning, arson riots in LA ensue, part due to anger towards Koreans.
Stand for Latasha Harlins, Akai Gurley, the same way we stand for Vincent Chin.

Vincent Chin's legacy is that Asian Americans won't stand for hate crimes, then & now, that we build movements in solidarity, lead to hate crime legislation. People all over now identify as #AsianAmericans because of the Vincent Chin case. Rest in power, cousin. #AsianAmPBS
