i have to do something about it. helen zia joined forces with lily chin and other activists. they formed an organization called the american citizens for justice. they began a grassroots movement. in the absence of social media, no internet, no fax machines, we put out flyers, we put out news letters, communications. the police never even investigated. they never interviewed any of the witnesses at the bar. you know, they never did anything. we said we have to find out the facts of this case. we cannot call it racist unless we actually have information that this was a racially-motivated killing. one by one they started talking to witnesses, and soon found a dancer who heard something critical. i was close enough to hear mr. ebens say to mr. chin,
