Vietnamese American memorial planned for Dorchester sparks intergenerational conversations

This year marks a half-century since the end of the Vietnam War. A well-known memorial in Washington, DC, pays tribute to the US service members who lost their lives in that war, but few memorials honor the Vietnamese who fought alongside them, or the hundreds of thousands who came to the US in subsequent years. A new memorial project in the Little Saigon neighborhood of Dorchester in Boston aims to do just that. Reporter Heidi Shin talked Ngoc Tran Vu and Linh-Phoung Vu, artists behind the 1975 Project, and community members who are participating.
