Anand Giridharadas: A tale of two Americas. And the mini-mart where they collided

This is a powerful talk about reconciliation.

Anand Giridharadas tells the story of Raisuddin Bhuiyan and Mark Stroman with humour and compassion. His conclusion is truly powerful and confronting.

“you may be part of the problem”

Ten days after 9/11, a shocking attack at a Texas mini-mart shattered the lives of two men: the victim and the attacker. In this stunning talk, Anand Giridharadas, author of “The True American,” tells the story of what happened next. It’s a parable about the two paths an American life can take, and a powerful call for reconciliation.
