Elizabeth Tanaka

"Hate crime targeting Asian Americans is on the rise, and many are recalling the gruesome murder of Vincent Chin in 1980s Detroit.  Helen Zia was on the front lines as an activist then and still leads the fight today.  She speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about Chin’s story and the current danger to her community.  This interview is part of Exploring Hate, [an] ongoing series on antisemitism, racism and extremism."
