On April 30th, 1975, Saigon fell to North Vietnam and that date forever became known as Black April. This tragic event led to the collapse of a country and a widespread migration ensued thus forming the Vietnamese diaspora that exists today. Thirty-five years after this unforgettable event, its effects are still being felt in this immigrant community whose voice is often muted in American society--especially that of its youth.
We are pleased to invite you to our commemoration event: Vietnamese American Journeys. Notable and insightful speakers have been organized for a panel discussion and an outdoor performance portion will showcase young talent along with speakers. Your presence would be greatly appreciated and we hope you join us in remembering the 35th anniversary of Black April as well as hearing the stories and seeing the talent that make this community undeniably Vietnamese-American.
Panelists:
Lâm Quang Thi
Andrew Lâm
Thiên Nhiên Lương
Fong Trần
