The Vietnamese-American Community of Greater Kansas City just participated in an annual commemoration the Fall of Saigon, which the organization calls its Black April Commemoration. This year's anniversary marked forty years since the moment when communist power extended to South Vietnam, and Saigon became Ho Chi Minh City. People fled in large numbers, and for many in the local Vietnamese community, a long perilous journey ended here in Kansas City.
Guests:
- Dong Van Do, founding member, Vietnamese-American Community of Greater Kansas City
- Vi Tran, writer and performer, The Butcher's Son
