Storytime Live: "Hmong in Wisconsin" with Mai Zong Vue

Описание: Unknown to many Americans at the time, the Hmong helped the US government fight in Laos during the Secret War of the 1960s and 1970s, a parallel conflict to the Vietnam War. When Saigon fell and allies withdrew, the surviving Hmong fled for their lives, spending years in Thai refugee camps before being relocated to the United States and other countries.

Many of these families found homes in Wisconsin, which now has the third-largest Hmong population in the country, following California and Minnesota. Author Mai Zong Vue details how the Hmong came to find their home in Wisconsin.
