Wrap Up: Lao American Writers Summit

Monday, August 23, 2010



While I didn't catch this myself, I wanted to make sure and post a pic and a snippet from the Bryan Thao Worra blog on the first national Lao American Writers Summit.

On August 13-15th, we reached well over 120 people throughout the first national Lao American Writers Summit. Over 14 award-winning Lao American writers and activists from across many disciplines worked with both Lao and non-Lao community members including Hmong, European American, African American, Thai and Tongans to discuss the importance of art, community and the approaches Lao American culture uses to remember our history and traditions.
Definitely sounds like it was a success.
