An ongoing initiative with Virginia Tech master's students is the "Echoes of Little Saigon" project in Arlington, Virginia, which documents the experience of Vietnamese immigrants to Arlington after the Fall of Saigon. For more information, see http://virginiahumanities.org/events/echoes-of-little-saigon/ and https://littlesaigonclarendon.com/.I have also worked with the Tinner Hill Heritage Foundation to document and map the stories associated with this historically significant African American community in Falls Church and Fairfax County, Virginia.
