Project featured in Leo Weekly

Our project was featured in this week's Leo. Here are excerpts from the full article by Dominic Russ:

"...the most unique contribution to this oral history archive comes from former South Vietnamese Army soldiers. In the past, (MSU Professor) Ernst had trouble finding any veteran SVA, much less getting them to open up. It took this kind of interest and appreciation on behalf of the Vietnamese community to unlock their stories."

"Ultimately, “Moving Voices” demonstrates how history doesn’t begin with books or television, but with people in a room sharing experiences. It was born out of the simple desire of our community to know where we live and to enrich our collective narrative with all the voices that are yet to be heard."
