Some early court decisions were made with blinders. I am grateful for this man's actions in challenging them.
“You must never be limited by external authority, whether it be vested in a church, man, or a book. It is your right to question, challenge and [be] investigated,” Thind reflected, in his questioning of American citizenship. His Supreme Court case challenged the legality of the Naturalization Act of 1906 and would eventually lead to the Supreme Court overturning unfair precedents on citizenship in the future.
We honor his service.
