VINCENT CHIN MURDER, 2003
Acrylic on canvas, 20 x 24 inches (sold)

In 1982, while attending his bachelor party at a suburban Detroit strip club, Chinese American Vincent Chin was lured into an altercation with Ron Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz, two white auto workers who blamed him for the ailing U.S. auto industry and the consequential loss of jobs. “It’s because of you little motherfuckers that we’re out of work,” witnesses recalled hearing. The violence escalated and the two auto workers bashed Vincent Chin’s head with a baseball bat, killing him.

Ebens and Nitz pled guilty and received a sentence of three years’ probation and a $3,000 fine. Judge Charles Kaufman reasoned that Ebens and Nitz did not have criminal records and were not likely to violate the terms of their parole. Later, the judgment was appealed, but the respective juries acquitted each of them. Neither served any jail time for his crime.

Vincent Chin’s mother, totally disheartened, left the U.S. and returned to her native village in China.
