Hoang, Khanh Han (Kathy)

Abstract

Kathy Khan is the first Vietnamese American woman appointed to a full-time presiding judge position in Houston, Texas. She relates the multiple challenges that she has endured as a minority and a woman in her career. She escaped Vietnam on April 29, 1975 along with her husband, her premature one-month-old and 18 month old baby. She describes how they found a ship amidst gunfire and chaos that took them to safety, and eventually were processed in a refugee camp and sponsored to resettle in the United States.
