Program: A Promise Called Iowa
The state of Iowa was a leader in resettling Southeast Asian refugees, not only because the government got behind it, but because of the way it was done. The state wanted the refugees to work and live their lives as they became acculturated, not wait till they learned English. That wasn’t how it was done other places.
In 1975, when Governor Ray first invited Southeast Asians to Iowa, he was in his seventh year in a tenure that would last 14 years.
