About this event
Milwaukee PBS invites you to a special screening and discussion celebrating 50 years of Hmong home life in Wisconsin. This event offers a deep dive into the vibrant cultures of the Hmong and Southeast Asian American communities, showcasing their significant contributions to the state's cultural landscape. Held at the Hmong American Peace Academy, the evening promises to be both educational and engaging.
With over 58,000 people of Hmong-Lao descent residing in Wisconsin, this event is a testament to their enduring presence and influence. The screening will provide insights into the lives of families who have lived in Wisconsin for generations, as well as those of recent immigrants and refugees. It's a great opportunity to learn, connect, and appreciate the rich tapestry of cultures that make up the state.
