- **Event Description**: **Now with NEW DATE!**

The Hmong community represents over 95,000 Minnesotans. The Hmong have been in the United States since the mid-1970s, yet their historical significance remains largely unknown. This presentation by Pakou Ly will give insight into a community rising from tragedy, yet fiercely holding on to cultural pride and a heritage that fuels hope for the next generation of Hmong Americans.

Pakou Ly is a Hmong American who came to the United States as a refugee at age 4 after her family fled Laos in 1976 following the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Her father was a colonel in the Hmong Army, and several uncles served under General Vang Pao. After initially settling in Iowa, her family moved to Minnesota to join relatives and the growing Hmong community. Pakou has more than 20 years of experience in public service, community engagement, and advocacy across state, county, and city government. She is a founding member of the Twin Ports APIDA Collective (TPAC) and holds a Master of Public Policy from the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
