This week, we’ve brought you stories of what it’s like to arrive in America. As young children, brother and sister Thu-Thuy Truong and Sy Truong fled with their family from their war-torn home of Vietnam to a refugee camp in Arkansas. They eventually settled in the East Bay.
The Truongs spoke with one another about survival, culture shock, and what it was like to ride BART for the first time. Click the audio player above to hear their conversation.
The First Days Project is a collaboration with PRI and the South Asian American Digital Archive. To hear more of these stories from the First Days Project, click here.
