Hello from the California History Room in the California State Library!
We wanted to let you know about our upcoming events in our free virtual speaker series:
- Wednesday, May 17th, 6:00-7:30PM: Threads of the HMong Diaspora - a talk exploring the history of HMong Californians through the threads of their global diaspora. Tapping into oral history and folklore, designer and curator Pachia Lucy Vang shares research rooted in HMong knowledge to look at the importance of paj ntaub or HMong clothing and textiles throughout the world.
