After the turmoil of the Vietnam War and the Secret War in Laos, many Laotian families sought safety in the United States. In the late 1970s and 1980s, some resettled in Holland, bringing their traditions, resilience, and hopes for the future, Sabai Dee(“Hello”) honors these immigrants, refugees, their children, and the lives they built here. Through personal narratives, photographs, and artifacts, the exhibit explores how Holland’s Laotian community has faced challenges, preserved their heritage, and established deep roots that continue to enrich the city today.
