We congratulate all of this year’s heritage fellows, but are especially proud of Lowell, Massachusett’s Yary Livan<\/a>; his stunning artwork and life story should make us all proud of the opportunities this country continues to provide immigrants. Here’s to Yary, a gentle and humble soul. We look forward to the work he has yet to create and the efforts of the many students who will benefit from his dedication to passing on this incredible, endangered Khmer art form.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
