FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- America's first Hmong judge gave the keynote speech Saturday morning at the naturalization ceremony at Fresno State.
"Even though you were born in a different country because you speak a different language, you practice a different religion, you eat different food, and you look different. Those are all the things that make you a unique American. A unique American who will help make America the great country that it is," said Honourable Paul Lo, America's first Hmong judge.
