A Minnesota PBS Initiative
A Minnesota PBS Initiative
Throughout the spring of 2018, Twin Cities PBS and Minnesota Remembers Vietnam hosted community conversations that explored the Vietnam War and its legacy from several points of view. Drawing upon speakers with very different experiences, the conversations expanded on the Ken Burns and Lynn Novick Vietnam War documentary and on the Minnesota Remembers Vietnam body of work.
This event series was presented in partnership with the Metropolitan Library Service Agency (MELSA).
Please visit our Events Calendar for a complete list of our future events, including the Vietnam War Roundtable, a partnership of TPT, the Minnesota Military Museum, and Concordia University in St. Paul. The Roundtable events occur the 3rd Monday of each month through May of 2019.
