Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers recently signed a bipartisan bill into law that mandates Wisconsin schools to include Asian American and Hmong American histories in their curriculum. The bill signing took place at an elementary school in Wausau, a city with a significant Hmong population.
Wausau is home to approximately 4,700 Hmong residents, making up 12% of the city's population. This makes Wausau the city with the highest per-capita Hmong population in both the state and the country, as reported by the Hmong American Center.
