Japanese car companies are on the rise and believed to be putting American autoworkers out of their jobs. Anti-Asian American sentiments simmer, especially in Detroit. A bar fight turns fatal, leaving Vincent Chin-a Chinese American man-beaten to death at the hands of two white men, autoworker Ronald Ebens and his stepson Michael Nitz. From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry is a searing examination of the killing and the trial and verdicts that followed. When Ebens and Nitz pled guilty to manslaughter and received only a $3,000 fine and three years' probation, the lenient sentence sparked outrage in the Asian American community. This outrage galvanized the Asian American movement and paved the way for a new federal civil rights trial of the case. Extensively researched from court transcripts and interviews with key case witnesses-many speaking for the first time-Yoo has crafted a suspenseful, nuanced, and authoritative portrait of a pivotal moment in civil rights history, and a man who became a symbol against hatred and racism"-- Awards:  YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults finalist, 2022 Audience:  Ages 13-18 Norton Young Readers.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.89507 Yo Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
