Welcome to Our Family Vietnam History and Legacy

In the recent years, personal websites and community websites have brought up the same topic about Mr. Sy Dang while unfairly misrepresented key figures. Facts and figures were conveniently ignored to create a history that was biased and inaccurate.  This is a small collection of references to the Trial of Dang Sy during the mid 1960s, which are often overlooked.  While many books and archives said briefly about the Trial of Dang Sy, they all gave conflicting views of the man on trial. Who is Matthew Sy Dang ? What really happened that propelled Mr. Sy Dang into the events that ultimately led to the Trial of Dang Sy. What he did, the accusations alleged against him, why he did it and what happened afterward were not always connected.

Using original, timely articles, peer-reviewed journals of scholars and commentary on the politics and history, this website brings together sources from all sides, to give a fuller, non-political picture of what happened. The Trial of Dang Sy was created at the insistence of the United States to stem the tyranny of justice in both the government and the public in South Vietnam. From the findings found at the trial, international communities eased up accusations of the First Republic on lack of religious freedom and helped to bridge the subsequent government, the Second Republic, bringing unity to South Vietnam in the late 1960s.
