Do Justice

In this first episode of our Justice for All series, we examine a minority faith with adherents numbering around 500,000 in the United States. While many Americans may be ignorant of this faith tradition, Sikhism has had a presence here since the late 19th century. In this episode I interview my friend Jaideep Dhillon, an Indian-American who follows the Sikh faith, and ask him about his personal experience with Sikhism and what it’s like to be part of a minority faith in America. Harsimran Kaur, Senior Counsel for the Sikh Coalition, then joins me to talk about hate crimes against Sikhs and the work of the Sikh Coalition in fighting for civil rights.
