In-Gathering – Come and reconnect with your pals, and meet some new people!

• When - Wednesday, June 20, 6:30 pm to 7:45 pm

• Where – Doubletree Hotel – 1000 NE Multnomah (6 blocks east of the convention center), in the Alaska Room

Screening of the “Who Killed Vincent Chin?” documentary –

This event is open to all GA participants!

Vincent Chin was a Chinese-American living in Detroit.  He was assaulted by two unemployed auto workers, who thought he was Japanese and blamed him for the loss of their jobs.  Beaten in the head with a baseball bat, he died five days later.  His assailants got 3 years probation and a $3,000 fine.  The injustice galvanized the Asian American community, and is considered the watershed event in pan-Asian solidarity in the US.

June 19, 2007 will be the 25th anniversary of his assault.June 19th will be the 25th anniversary of the Vincent Chin murder. We will show this Oscar-nominated movie to highlight this watershed event in Asian/Pacific Islander solidarity. For more information, go to: http://www.asianweek.com/061397/feature.html and http://www.filmakers.com/indivs/WhoVincentChin.htm.

• When - Saturday, June 23, 10:15 pm to midnight

• Where – Doubletree Hotel – 1000 NE Multnomah (6 blocks east of the convention center), in the Alaska Room

We will hold a short discussion session after the movie. Snacks will be provided.

• This Week's Quote

  “The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
