**Khizr Khan** is a Muslim American and a Gold Star father. He stepped into public view at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, where he gave a speech on the sacrifice of his son and the love for the country he had immigrated to as a young man. Now Khan is out with a memoir, "An American Family: A Memoir of Hope and Sacrifice" which outlines his experiences from arriving in the U.S. as a hopeful student, to his marriage and the family he raised with his wife, to losing his son while he served in the military, to ultimately deciding to publicly support Hillary Clinton's bid for President of the United States in 2016. In this talk presented by the Harvard Book Store, Khan talks with his former Harvard Law School professor **Martha Minow**. This event was co-sponsored by the [Cambridge Community Foundation](http://cambridgecf.org/ "CCF website"). (Image: Voice of America [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons)
