On Saturday, April 26, we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War with an evening of stories, connection, resistance and looking forward. With opportunities to engage both in person and online, we will highlight AFSC’s steadfast work to combat the war and the stories of those who carried out the work on the ground.
Please join us in Friends Center at 5:30 p.m. ET for a reception. There will be a conversation with AFSC's Archivist Don Davis and the opportunity to catch up with old and new friends.
The hybrid program will begin at 7 p.m. ET featuring a conversation with Claudia Krich. Claudia and her husband, Keith Brinton, were co-directors of the AFSC Quang Ngai program from March 1973 until July 1975. In her new book “Those Who Stayed” she offers a personal firsthand account of the collapse of the South Vietnamese government and the beginning of the new Provisional Revolutionary Government. Her vivid descriptions of those days emerge primarily from her journal, which captured the uncertainty, fear, and excitement as the North Vietnamese soldiers arrived.
