Local leaders said the launch marks the start of ongoing awareness campaigns and future installations in other parishes. WDSU

CULTURE NEWS
- ➤ The fall of Saigon happened on April 29, 1975 — a turning point that brought many Vietnamese refugees to Louisiana where they found work in fishing and shrimping. In the 50 years since, these newcomers have built strong families that continue to shape our local community. WWL-TV
EDUCATION NEWS
