The Amsterdam Museum opened a mini-exhibit on Friday to mark the 40th anniversary of 15-year-old Kerwin Lucas Duinmeijer’s murder. The Antillean boy was stabbed to death by a skinhead on 20 August 1983. “His death, often seen as the first racist murder in Amsterdam, led to many protests and cooperation between migrant organizations to fight racism.”
