Think Forum lecture with Viet Thanh Nguyen

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and literary scholar Viet Thanh Nguyen will speak on the topic of “Refugee Stories and American Greatness." Nguyen explores how depictions of the Vietnam War-and the refugees it displaced-often fail to capture the full humanity and inhumanity as well as the sacrifices and savagery of participants on both sides of the conflict. As the 2019 F. Joseph Callahan Distinguished Lecture, Nguyen's talk is presented with generous support from the Callahan Foundation. Community partners for this lecture include Global Cleveland, MotivAsians, The Refugee Response, and the Vietnamese Cultural Garden. Free and open to all, reservations requested.
