Every summer our family would spend a week at the New Jersey shore. And on the ferry to Cape May, I would take a photography of my daughters on the deck. I had been doing this since they were 3 and 4 years old. In 2014, my daughter’s now 16 and 17, I was taking our annual picture when a man approached us, turned to my daughters and said, “I would be remiss if I didn’t ask if you were alright.” My daughters are Asian and I am White. He said he work for Homeland Security and I’d been taking too long to take their photo. He thought I might be involved in human trafficking. This is an op-ed I wrote that appeared in The Washington Post.
