This was the general trend until a realization overcame the great mass of Greeks in America. that they did not have to make a career of working for wages. that they would do as well or better striking out on their own. Many proceeded to open shops of their own. and with considerable success. From economic triumph. they rose at once to further triumph. in the realms of education. science. and arts and letters. In time. the separate Greek communities in general incorporated in the American way of life the best aspects of the Greek way of life. The struggles of the Greek immigrant. at the turn of the century. have disappeared. and in their place we find a national acceptance. on the part of the American people. of the customs and traditions of the GreekAmerican community.
