TOM LLAMAS: For the first time Hisham Awartani, the Palestinian-American college student who was shot and paralyzed, is telling his story. How he and his two friends were ambushed on a November night in Burlington, Vermont. He says, because of racism.
HISHAM AWARTANI: Growing up in Palestine, this is something that I already -- I’d always thought was possible.
LLAMAS: But did you think it’d happen here?
AWARTANI: Not really, no. I definitely expected it would happen to me in, like, in the West Bank, in Palestine. But not in Vermont.
