NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The Historic New Orleans Collection (HNOC) asks that you join them for a special panel discussion reflecting on the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, presented in conjunction with Making It Home: From Vietnam to New Orleans.
The program will open with a presentation by military historian Dr. Heather Stur, followed by a conversation HNOC says will blend historical oversight and powerful personal stories from refugee and community organizer John-Hoá Nguyen, Vietnam veteran Man Pham, and HNOC Senior Historian Mark Cave.
