LAOTIAN ORAL HISTORY PROJECT 

Community volunteer Aloun Khotisene worked
to preserve the memories of elder Laotian immigrantsas they traced their stories of leaving Laosand coming to Elgin in the 1970s and 1980s.
They hope to promote a connection between
the younger generation and the elderly Lao,
so they can all take pride in their shared history.
Listen to their stories and view photos from the celebration in May 2015.
