It’s probably by pure chance that, just as our Ukrainian American community’s activities get under way after the traditional summer hiatus, a major conference in New York City will examine the history and continuing activity of our community.
The Ukrainian Historical Encounters Series is presenting a special event dubbed “Celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the Organized Ukrainian American Community” at the prestigious Princeton Club of New York on September 21 (two days after these words are being written). Its sponsors are the Center for U.S.-Ukrainian Relations (CUSUR), the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) and the Ukrainian National Association (UNA), which this year is celebrating the 125th anniversary of its establishment.
