On display in the Focus Gallery from January 23 – May 17, 2026. Following the turmoil of the Vietnam War and the Secret War in Laos, many Laotian families sought safety and a new beginning in the United States. In the late 1970s and 1980s, a number of these families resettled in Holland, Michigan—bringing with them their traditions, resilience, and hopes for the future. Sabai Dee (“Hello”) celebrates the Laotian immigrants, refugees, and their children who built new lives here, highlighting their stories of perseverance, community, and cultural pride. Through personal narratives, photographs, and artifacts, this exhibit explores how Holland’s Laotian community has faced challenges, nurtured their heritage, and established deep roots that continue to enrich the city today.
