Yeng Xiong: Immigrant Stories

Yeng Xiong talks about the baby carrier she used while she, her husband, and three young children escaped across the Mekong River after the communist takeover of Laos. One of her children died in the turbulent waters.
Immigrant Stories invites immigrants, refugees, and their families to create digital stories about their experiences. Each story is preserved in the Immigration History Research Center & Archives at the University of Minnesota, where we have collected materials related to immigration in the U.S. since 1965.
