After the Vietnam War (1955-1975), many Vietnamese refugees who worked as shrimpers and fishermen in rural Vietnam settled in the Gulf Coast in Texas. Tensions erupted between white fishermen and Vietnamese fishermen. In this lesson, students will learn about the causes and effects of the Vietnamese Fishermen’s Association v. Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (1981), a court case that struck down the Ku Klux Klan’s intimidation campaign against recently resettled Vietnamese refugees on the Gulf Coast in Texas.
