My parents attended a presentation at the Bayliss Library on Thursday night about the Karen immigration to Michigan. My mother said it was very interesting. The Karen people have suffered greatly and have moved from several regions. A group of them have settled in Sault Ste. Marie. You can read a short story from the Soo Evening News at From Asia to Michigan.A more detailed article can be found at Karen refugees describe their lives in Burma.
I can't wait to read more of these people and I welcome them to the Soo.
