“You notice it if you come to this country and try to be different.”— Kian Shafé, Iranian Immigrant
Kian Shafé came to the United States in 1955 on a student visa from Tehran, Iran. The youngest of four children, he came to study in the U.S. after political shifts interrupted his education in Iran. In the video above, Kian, his children and his grandchildren share their thoughts on racism and prejudice in America.
