Convicted for murder, Quan Huynh was introduced to the penal system when a strict law was used to target minorities. A judge levied a heavy sentence for conspiracy to murder for having a pictured drawn. With opportunities limited and fueled by anger, he ventured to crime and ultimately back in prison serving a life sentence. However, his redemption story includes overcoming his victim mentality, even as he and his employees are locked out of financial opportunities because of what happened decades ago. You need to hear his story to get an idea of how systemic racism in the justice system negatively connects to systemic racism in financial services.
