UVSA Norcal to Host Youth Forum on Little Saigon Naming Debate
San Jose, CA – The recent decision by the San Jose City Council to name a strip of businesses along Story Road, “Saigon Business District” in direct opposition of popular calls for “Little Saigon” have incensed many in the Vietnamese American community of Northern California. City councilwoman Madison Nguyen, who proposed the name change in opposition of community support, has been asked to step down by many in the local Vietnamese American community. Recent media accounts of the issue have largely sought to gain the perspective of community members present at the rallies pushing for a City Council decision reversal, but have failed to adequately represent the views of younger Vietnamese Americans.
The United Vietnamese Student Associations (UVSA) of Northern California will be hosting the Youth Forum to provide an open space where the next generation of Vietnamese Americans can speak up and share their thoughts and opinions without the fear of being judged, labeled, or criticized. UVSA firmly believes that the youth perspective should be represented in this debate, as we are the next generation to lead and struggle for the betterment of our community. The details are as follows:
