Join us on Wednesday, July 10 at 2:00 p.m. in the Edgewater Room for a presentation and talk by Laurie Reemsnyder about the history of Southeast Asian Refugees transiting through Marin County. Roughly 180,000 refugees came through Hamilton Airbase in Novato in the early 1980s and over one million Southeast Asian refugees settled in the United States after the Vietnam War, making it the largest resettlement of refugees in American history. Reemsnyder will discuss her work with the International Organization for Migration, where she oversaw the airport operation over the span of two decades. Reemsnyder will also showcase her photography documenting her experiences at Hamilton, and various refugee camps, wishing to highlight the resiliency, hope, and enduring power of the human spirit.
