Join USC Vietnamese Students Association in commemorating "Black April" at 4 pm, Friday April 30th in THH 114.
The Fall of Saigon took place on April 30th, 1975 - exactly 35 years from Friday April of this year. The date marks the end of nearly two decades of war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, with the total collapse of the South Vietnamese government. The war took countless millions of lives. It radically transformed the landscape of Vietnam, the society, and Vietnamese culture.Vietnamese, Americans, and the World community all were impacted by the outcome of the Vietnam War.
