Stories of Immigrant Elders: Wisdom from the Indian Ice Cream Man

We talk so many times about conflict between ethnic groups that it is refreshing to hear a story where two people from what seem to be vastly different backgrounds find common ground.  Author and photographer Tiburon tells this story of an Indian Ice Cream man whose kindness to him when he was a little boy was impossible to understand until many years later.  This story is part of Silicon Valley Debug’s multimedia series on our immigrant elders called “Arriving and Becoming:  The Silicon Valley Story as told by Immigrant Elders.”
