COMMUNITY TIMELINE

Việt Nam in New Orleans is dedicated to honoring and amplifying the stories of this community. Rooted in personal histories and narratives, this collection traces the community’s journey from 1975 until the present day, allowing us to follow the struggles, triumphs, and milestones of individual organizers, chefs, authors, politicians, fishermen, priests, and more. At the heart of this project is a desire to build collective archives in collaboration with the community, and to reflect the complexity and richness of Vietnamese life in New Orleans.
