Riaz Tejani teaches at the Phoenix School of Law. September 11, 2001 was his first day of grad school at Princeton University in New Jersey, about an hour away from New York City. Tejani is an Indian Muslim, born in New York and raised in L.A. But after the attacks, many looked at him as a possible foreign threat. “This was perpetrated by young guys, physically appearing like I do. Suddenly, I was in some ways my own worst fear, on the surface of things.”
