Our Programs

Throughout all levels of education, we have observed a significant gap in the curriculum regarding the history of the Vietnam War era, particularly The American Secret War in Laos - a neutral country. Legacies is driven by three core pillars: History, Healing, and Hope. To achieve the latter two pillars, Healing and Hope, it is essential to ensure that the first pillar, History, is comprehensively addressed. Due to decades of disinformation and erasure of history, Southeast Asian Americans remain a vital American community that has been left out of the American consciousness even though many of the families fleeing war and conflict had no choice.

 

Our goal is to uplift these communities and permanently preserve and protect the unique contributions, experiences, cultures, and languages which have not been recognized. Refugee families, survivors, and voices of the diaspora will never be forgotten through our preservation of history: Legacies Library, Thip Khao Talk Podcast, and the interactive Khao Niew’s Classroom.
