Interfaith leaders and a family member of Vincent Chin will offer reflections and meditations on the legacy of Vincent Chin and the solidarity against hate and in the quest for justice for all. At graveside, the U.S. flag that draped the casket of Chin’s father, a veteran of World War II, will be unfurled.

The Interfaith Remembrance Ceremony is located a short driving distance away from the registration site. The Ceremony will be outdoors on uneven terrain and involves standing for approximately one hour.

A very limited number of seats will be available on a shuttle bus that is not ADA accessible. We encourage carpooling from the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) to the ceremony. Driving instructions to the ceremony will be provided from the registration and departure site at the DIA.
