Curtis Chin has written a new memoir — “Everything I Learned, I Learned In a Chinese Restaurant.” In an interview with the PBS NewsHour, Chin, whose family owned Chung’s restaurant, talked about growing up in Detroit, Michigan in the 1980s, amid a racially-charged environment fueled by the murder of auto worker, Vincent Chin, a family friend.
“That case probably changed my life,” said Curtis Chin, who was interviewed by John Yang. “I didn’t see anything reported in the newspapers. It took the media 12 days to cover it. Meanwhile, everyone came to our restaurant for details.”
