Making it Home: From Vietnam to New Orleans
Making it Home: From Vietnam to New Orleans
Saigon fell in April 1975. Shortly thereafter Vietnamese immigrants began arriving in New Orleans. Now, fifty years after the fall of Saigon, the Historic New Orleans Collection has created an exhibition telling their stories. Join me as I sit down with Senior Historian and Mark Cave to discuss the details.
Find out more about the exhibit here.
