We were saddened to hear of the death of Hoang Vu Tran. The Journal of Educational Controversy published an article by Professor Tran in our Volume 14 issue on the theme, "The Ethics of Memory: What Does It Mean to Apologize for Historical Wrongs." The very timely article was entitled, "Anti-Affirmative Action and Historical Whitewashing: To Never Apologize While Committing New Racial Sins," an issue that is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court. Hoang V. Tran was a young assistant professor at Florida Atlantic University. He died from drowning in a lake while trying to save his friends from a strong current. He had a three year old daughter and another child who was not born yet. Such a tragic loss. We are honored to have published what was probably his final manuscript.
