Looking back at 40 years of Hmong migration to U.S.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Hmong arrival in Minnesota.
At that time, the number of Hmong could be counted in the dozens. Now the Twin Cities metro area is home to 64,000 Hmong people, making it the largest urban population of Hmong in the country.
We look back at the history of the Hmong people, both in Southeast Asia and Minnesota.
