“What I see during Black April is the resilience of the Vietnamese community, how the devastation of losing our country did not stop us from contributing and serving today. We want the world to never forget the atrocities committed and the sacrifices made. We want April to be a time when we honor the past and build towards the future. We will not let our past be rewritten or our future be defined.” (01:24–01:31)
