When You Look Like America's Enemy, Is the Dream Worth the Price?
Scottsdale, AZ (March 26, 2008) -- It was the first hate-based murder in the wake of September 11, 2001 ?-- one of thousands of reported and unreported hate crimes in the years that followed. The victim: a turbaned Sikh man in Mesa, Arizona, where his family had sought religious freedom, searching for the American Dream.
Meet a family still determined to believe in that dream, even as the nightmare continues for many religious and ethnic minorities in a climate of xenophobia and fear.
