She says ideas about Cambodian identity have changed and evolved as Cambodians have settled in different countries.
BOCHAN HUY: "We've landed in all parts of the world, we've been able to kind of adapt, adjust and recreate, and we're forming something new for ourselves. And that's to me what it means to be Cambodian."
Bochan Huy just went to Cambodia for the first time since nineteen ninety-nine. She went to promote her album and to get ideas for new material.

FAITH LAPIDUS: February is Black History Month, a time to honor people and events that have shaped the African-American experience.
Some of those events took place in Birmingham, Alabama, during the civil rights movement of the nineteen fifties and sixties.
Martin Luther King, Jr. leads a march to Alabama's capital, Montgomery, to protest unfair voting laws
Martin Luther King Jr. and others led peaceful demonstrations there as part of the struggle for equality. But some marches turned violent when police used fire hoses and dogs against the demonstrators. Many people were injured and thousands were arrested.
Images from Birmingham only strengthened support for efforts to end laws in the South that allowed racial discrimination.
Nearly fifty years later, people come to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute to learn about the events of that time. William Revill recently traveled several hours to see the museum.
