We delve into the topic of Race in America from the point of view of 3 first generation Indian Americans. All came to the United States in the 1960s shortly after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and as a direct result of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965. This Act abolished immigration quotas by country which had intended to limit people of color while prioritizing western Europeans.
In this final episode of the 3-part series, our participants reflect on the "swing" years from Trump to the present day. As they approach the end of their careers, they offer perspectives on a life lived in North America as people of color but not African Americans. They speak to their hopes, dreams and fears for their children and grandchildren.
