Anti-Asian American sentiment simmers, especially in Detroit. A bar fight turns fatal, leaving a Chinese American man, Vincent Chin, beaten to death at the hands of two white men, autoworker Ronald Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz. Paula Yoo has crafted a searing examination of the killing and the trial and verdicts that followed. When Ebens and Nitz pled guilty to manslaughter and received only a $3,000 fine and three years' probation, the lenient sentence sparked outrage. The protests that followed led to a federal civil rights trial--the first involving a crime against an Asian American--and galvanized what came to be known as the Asian American movement. Extensively researched from court transcripts, contemporary news accounts, and in-person interviews with key participants, From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry is a suspenseful, nuanced, and authoritative portrait of a pivotal moment in civil rights history, and a man who became a symbol against hatred and racism"-- $c Amazon.com. 541 $d 20231211. 600 1 $a Chin, Vincent, $d 1955-1982 $v Young adult literature. 650 4 $a Asian Americans $x Civil rights $v Young adult literature. 650 $a Murder victims $z United States $v Young adult literature. 650 7 $a Racism against Asians. 941 $a 1 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20240113010707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=67270B38B1E111EEB4F25BF24EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
