This table read of Johnny Ngo’s feature film script of the same name documents the true story of Vincent Chin, who was killed by two disgruntled autoworkers in the Detroit area in 1982. His murderers, who apparently had mistaken him for a Japanese, were given lenient sentences fines and probation which sparked a civil rights movement within the Asian American community.
“Hold Still, Vincent” is an unflinching and visceral examination of one family’s fight for justice that is conducive to the current racial zeitgeist in America today.

A recent study from Cal State San Bernardino observed a 164% increase in reported anti-Asian hate crimes in the first quarter of 2021, versus the same period last year. The growing urgency around this troubling trend has sparked action and dialogue about how to mitigate future threats but also has brought conversations about America’s history of Asian American Pacific Islander discrimination into a new light.
On May 14, UCLA School of Law will host a discussion on the legal history of discrimination against Asian American Pacific Islander communities in America, the origins and nature of anti–Asian American Pacific Islander hate crimes, and the potential legal, policy and community-based solutions to stem future violence.
