Celebrating the Bicentennial of the Greek Revolution
in Western Pennsylvania:
A synaxis of friends
To remember where we started from,
to realize where we stand,
and to decide where we want to go
All the events are “virtual” (on this Website, inside Youtube, or live on ZOOM) and open to the public.
Please go to our Digital Exhibits Room to view and download rare documents and art material.
We dedicated the Month of July 2021 to the Cypriot heroes and martyrs of the Revolution. Those events are located HERE.
