The Fall of Saigon took place 50 years ago on April 30, 1975. An illustration by Nancy My Tran depicts a Vietnamese altar honoring a lost loved one. A poem by Julianne Le reflects upon the effects of imperialism and war.

On Monday Jan. 19, Royce Hall hosted Vietnamese Student Union’s Culture Night called “Fight to Keep” to a sold-out audience. In remembrance of the 40th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, this cultural production followed a family’s journey through separation and the destruction of their home.
