Curtis Chin has been championing other Asian Americans for over 30 years
Many parents tell their children never talk to strangers. But Curtis Chin's parents urged their six kids to ask customers at their Chinese restaurant about their background. It was their way of showing the children a world outside the Detroit restaurant's four walls. “That is something my parents taught me — not to be afraid of people, not to be afraid to ask questions, not to be afraid of asking for help even,' Chin said in a phone interview from his Los Angeles home.
He would watch butchers chopping up chickens, or get a dragon puppet and play with other Chinese American kids. Chung's was among the restaurants he ate at. It wasn't until 1999 that he met Curtis Chin and they became friends. Hwang thinks the memoir does a service for the community. “This book sort of raises the profile of this aspect of history of Chinese Americans in Detroit. Physically speaking, there’s not much left of the Chinatown,' Hwang said.
