Just a week before his wedding, in the summer of 1982, 27-year-old Asian American Vincent Chin was bludgeoned to death by two white auto workers in what has now become one of the most infamous hate crimes in Asian American history. As an Asian American I feel deeply connected to this and sadly was not aware of this story until recently. I want more people like me to know their history. To know where they came from, and what previous generations had to overcome.
The main conflict takes place in a stripclub. We will set dress the space from Peerspace and make it look like the Nightclub where the altercation take place.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
