Operation Babylift Exhibit in Colorado Explores Names and Identities
An exhibit titled 'My Name Is Mimosa' is set to open in Boulder, Colorado, on April 4, exploring the unique names given to Vietnamese children during Operation Babylift. The exhibit is spearheaded by Devaki Murch, an adoptee who survived a plane crash during the operation. The nuns at the adoption agency assigned names like Mimosa, T.S. Eliot, and Anne Frank to the children as a way to keep track of them. The exhibit aims to shed light on the personal stories and identities of these adoptees, many of whom were relocated to various countries, including the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
