Let us honor the GreekAmericans among us for the democratic heritage they brought to these shores after having spread that cherished political ideal throughout the western world. Lets pay homage to their traditions of architecture and literature. philosophy and poetry. Above all. lets thank them for their good humor. their passion for life. their zest for living every minute of it to its fullest. and their work ethic that has transformed many an immigrant into a merchant prince. The inspiration for this column. of course. is the Search for Alexander exhibit of Greek artifacts opening May 16 at the Chicago Art Institute. Tied in with the display is a series of events sponsored by the United Hellenic American Congress that include a Greek festival. a parade. and a celebration of Greek independence.
