In commemoration of the 44th anniversary of the death of President Ton Duc Thang (March 30, 1980 – March 30, 2024), the Ton Duc Thang Museum, in collaboration with the Management Board of the Special National Monument Area of President Ton Duc Thang in An Giang, organized the special photo exhibition "Uncle Ton with the Vietnam Fatherland Front". The exhibition aims to introduce the exemplary role in building a comprehensive national unity bloc in the struggle for national independence, reunification, and the construction of socialism.
With 105 images, the exhibition helps viewers understand the formation of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and Uncle Ton's contributions to it, his role in connecting the national community, and the qualities that helped him become a symbol of North-South Vietnam solidarity. Through this, it contributes to the promotion and education of patriotic traditions, the spirit of national unity for the common purpose of building a peaceful, independent, unified, democratic, and prosperous Vietnam. It also enhances the spirit of training and learning revolutionary ethics of "diligence, thrift, integrity, righteousness, and selflessness" for every cadre, party member, union member, and all classes of people.
The Vietnam Fatherland Front is a form of organization of the National United Front of Vietnam aimed at mobilizing and promoting the strength of the whole nation's solidarity. Our Party and President Ho Chi Minh early had a profound awareness of the power of national unity, of the patriotic spirit within every Vietnamese, and the Front was the place to gather and multiply manyfold that patriotic spirit.
Its original name was the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (1930) and going through various periods with the names such as: the Anti-Imperialist Association (1935), the People's Anti-Imperialist Front of Indochina (1936), the Democratic Front of Indochina (1938), the United National Front of Anti-Imperialism of Indochina (1939), Vietnam Allied Independence Front abbreviated as Viet Minh Front (1941), the Lien Viet Association abbreviated as Lien Viet Front (1951). In February 1977, the National United Front Congress of Vietnam was held, unifying the Front organizations in our country into a common Front, the Vietnam Fatherland Front.
Serving as the Chairman of Vietnam National Union Association (Lien Viet association) in 1947, the Chairman of the Lien Viet Front (1951), the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (1955), and until December 1977 as the Honorary Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front until his death (1980). For more than 30 years trusted and entrusted missions by the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, Uncle Ton has wholeheartedly and tirelessly raised the banner of great national unity to lead, organize, build, and develop the Front of national unity, mobilizing patriotic forces to the fullest extent and contributing significantly to the cause of national liberation, human liberation, and building the Vietnamese nation along the path of socialism.
