From the Pembroke Center Archives Oral History Project: Kathy Le '97 speaks about fleeing Vietnam after the war, her mother's tenacity as a refugee, meeting Robert McNamara while a student at Brown, and much more in this interview. Listen: sites.brown.edu/pembrokeoral...
“There wasn’t that much room on the boats, you had to pay in gold to get passage. And people had to borrow money to do this. And my mother got us passage on a boat that was probably very tiny, I would say like, 20 to 25 foot fishing boat. So you know, not huge. And there were 100 people on it, including two pregnant women, one of which was my mom.” Kathy Le '97. Image includes a headshot of Le.
