Video: VCI joins AAPI Hoosiers to fight hate

On January 11, 2023 at Indiana University, a first-year Asian American student on a bus to campus was stabbed on the head seven times by a white woman who shouted about “the enemy” and other slurs.

Follow VCI and Helen Zia to Bloomington, IN In this short video, as they support AAPIs at the IU Asian Cultural Center and the launch event of Hoosier Asian American Power (HAAP) . Produced by Direct Relief, a VCI funder, the video highlights local community empowerment to address the multiple impacts of racism, extremism and violence on mental health and everyday life, especially outside of major AAPI centers.

AAPI Hoosiers and VCI’s Zia share stories about anti-Asian hate and the lessons from organizing to build networks and solidarity for civil rights.

Changing Perspectives

I would say it's not an accident that we don't get to learn about many facts that we should know, like this Vincent Chin case. It feels to me like it's another way to divide and conquer different minority groups.

Student, 1991

In a deeper way than just identifying with Vincent Chin, suddenly I have a whole new way of understanding what it means to be Asian American.

Student, 2001

The activism around Vincent Chin’s attack both supported and countered the numerous assumptions of and about Asian Americans. His death became an issue my parents and their generation gathered around. For the first time in my life, I was watching people I knew take charge of a rising movement. It was a revolution.

Student, 2016

Join us as we come together to embrace our shared history and build the future as communities united, to strengthen our fragile democracy and honor the legacy of Vincent Chin.
