The President of the Hmong American Association of Oklahoma, and other guests, discuss the Hmong people in Tulsa.  Their history spans over two-thousand years.  They have their own culture and customs.  They have migrated from China, out into Asia, and the rest of the world.  Many have settled in the United States, especially around California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.  There are approximately four thousand (4,000) people living in the Greater Area of Tulsa.

On the final segment, demonstrations of break dancing are given by Sukie Lee and some students he mentors as a youth volunteer.  Sukie was one of 3 B-Boys with Tulsa associations, who are featured in the film Among B-Boys, a documentary which is airing on RSU TV May 23rd at 7PM.
