Hmong Pioneers: Honoring the First Wave

Thursday, January 18, 2018 - 7:00pm to Friday, January 19, 2018 - 8:45pm

Join us for a screening and discussion of the documentary film, “Hmong Pioneers: Honoring the First Wave.”

In 1975, at the tumultuous close of the Vietnam war, the Hmong people in Laos fled their homes, livelihoods, and culture and began to arrive in the U.S. as refugees. Since that time, St. Paul, Minnesota has become the largest home of Hmong Americans in the United States; Hmong Pioneers is their story.
