Description

A Vietnamese Refugee's Fight for His Seat on the Way to the American Dream In 2017, Dr. David Dao was forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight after refusing to give up his seat. This act of racial discrimination sparked widespread outrage and attention, but it was just one moment in a lifetime of struggles against oppression. Born as a refugee fleeing the fall of Saigon, Dr. Dao has faced numerous challenges since arriving in the United States. He recounts his journey, from being stranded in the Indian Ocean to building a medical practice and starting a family, all while battling discrimination and fighting for his rights. This personal narrative offers a powerful response to a lifetime of oppressive acts, highlighting the importance of advocating for oneself in the face of adversity.
