America Reframed

From Here | Sikh in a Post-9/11 Nation

As Sonny Singh walks through New York City, he sees and hears two sides of America - open and supportive, and closed and defensive. This is the country following the September 11th attacks and people who don't look "American" are not welcome and under physical and verbal attack. Sonny, who is Sikh, recognizes how he is seen by others, taking all the perspectives in stride.
