The Atlantic: Reenactments of Prominent Asian American Court Cases Brings History to Life

CATEGORIES

Denny ChinJudge Denny Chin is unique in so many ways.

He’s one of only four Asian American federal appellate court judges.

He’s also probably the only judge in the nation to pen dramatizations of milestone Asian American court cases.

His latest one, 22 Lewd Chinese Women. will premiere at the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association’s national convention in Kansas City this November, reports The Atlantic.

He’s produced a reenactment a year since 2006 starting with the trial of Minoru Yasui who challenged the legality of a curfew imposed only on Japanese Americans during World War II to the trial of two white men accused in the murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese American auto worker killed with a baseball bat. His assailants were both acquitted.

You can read a lot more about these re-enactments in The Atlantic.
