It is celebrated by the Greek communities, taught in Greek schools, covered in the local newspapers. It is an inspiration for literary, artistic, and theatrical creations.

This volume produces new knowledge about the Greeks in the United States and Canada for the last 100 years.

Conversations with FDR at His AHEPA Initiation by Leonidas V. Georgiou Pdf
"Early in the morning of a fair spring day during the Great Depression, a group of nine New Yorkers traveled 145 miles up the Hudson Valley to their state capital, Albany. Their mission was to initiate Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt into their fraternal society, the Greek-American organization known as the Order of AHEPA... The nine men who took time off their busy schedules included a florist, a baker, an electrician, a waiter, a grocer, a lawyer, an accountant, a banker, and the odd one in the group, the man who persuaded his distinguished friend to join AHEPA, Ulius L. Amoss. The only member of the delegation not of Greek descent, Amoss was a staunch philhellene who led the Y.M.C.A. in Greece while moonlighting as a cloak-and-dagger American spy in the Balkans..." This monograph contains four narratives. First, it brings to light the events that led up to Roosevelt's induction into AHEPA. It then reviews and analyzes the underlying events boasted by Roosevelt at his initiation: that his family donated a frigate for Greece's War of Independence in the 1820s and that he himself contributed two battleships for Greece's defense in World War I. The book then discusses the role played by Roosevelt's friend and AHEPA sponsor, Ulius L. Amoss, in events that followed FDR's initiation. During World War II, Amoss and AHEPA collaborated with Roosevelt's intelligence services in Greece's resistance against the Nazi occupation. This included the raising of an irregular army of Greek American volunteers, recruited by AHEPA's then Supreme President and trained under the auspices of the O.S.S.

Historic Sites & Landmarks of New Smyrna Beach by Robert Redd Pdf
New Smyrna Beach is the third-oldest city in Florida behind only St. Augustine and Pensacola. Originally settled by Dr. Andrew Turnbull in 1768, the city accumulated significant, intriguing and stunning monuments to its past. An unusual-looking memorial to world war heroes-a cross, battle helmet and eagle-sits at Riverside Park. One of the oddest sites is a single-stone cemetery with a vault dedicated to the memory of Charles Dummett. Because of the insects that inhabit Ponce Inlet, a well-known landmark was originally named Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse. Local author and historian Robert Redd guides readers through the iconic historical landmarks of "Florida's Secret Pearl." Book jacket.

The Greek American Community of Essex County, New Jersey by John Antonakos Pdf
This book is about Greek Americans who have lived or live in Essex County, New Jersey. Greeks first started to immigrate to the United States in large numbers after 1900. This book gives the stories of individual Greek American families. It gives a cross section of the Greek immigrants who come to America between 1900 and 1930. And it gives a cross section of the children of these immigrants. A Greek American community is synonomous with a parish of the Orthodox Church. In Essex County the community consisted of four churches. These churches are St. Nicholas, St. Demetrios, St. Fanourios, and Sts Constantine and Helen. The priests who served these churches and their period of service are listed in the book. The churches religious services and Sunday and Greek schools greatly participate in shaping the moral character of the people. This book contains the biographies of individual families of the community. The biographies are arranged alphabetically, except that biographies about children or grandchildren of a particular family immediately follow the root family biography, so as to maintain the continuity of that family. The chief characteristics of the first immigrants were their high moral character and their industriousness. They passed these good characteristics onto their children. These immigrants were also highly supportive of education, and saw to it that their children received a good education. Because of all of these factors, today the immigrants children and grandchildren are leaders in commerce, industry, education, and government. They have accomplished what their parents desired for them. Truly they have achieved the American dream.

American Congregations, Volume 1 by James P. Wind,James W. Lewis Pdf
The congregation is a distinctly American religious structure, and is often overlooked in traditional studies of religion. But one cannot understand American religion without understanding the congregation. Volume 1: Portraits of Twelve Religious Communities chronicles the founding, growth, and development of congregations that represent the diverse and complex reality of American local religious cultures. The contributors explore multiple issues, from the fate of American Protestantism to the rise of charismatic revivalism. Volume 2: New Perspectives in the Study of Congregations builds upon those historical studies, and addresses three crucial questions: Where is the congregation located on the broader map of American cultural and religious life? What are congregations' distinctive qualities, tasks, and roles in American culture? And, what patterns of leadership characterize congregations in America?
