AAJA will award $5,000 to a journalism student committed to keeping Vincent Chin's memory alive.

Chin was a Chinese American who died in Detroit in 1982 after two laid-off auto factory workers used him as a scapegoat for the loss of their jobs.

This was during a time when Japanese auto manufacturers were on the rise and many American auto plant workers lost their jobs due to the auto-industry competition.
