This week marks 50 years since the fall of Saigon. On today's show, we'll hear about refugees from the Vietnam War who made their way to the U.S. through Fort Chaffee. And while the war in Vietnam was half a world away, the impact was felt locally, as we hear in archival recordings of war protests from the Pryor Center.
