The presentation was given by the Co-Founders of The Greek Museum, the Center of Greek American Heritage, Katherine R. Boulukos and Anastasia Nicholas in a slide program. It told the story of the early immigrants with photographs that are part of their collection. It traced their arrivals, their businesses and their lives.

Mrs. Agi Balta, Consul General of Greece, welcomed the women and praised their efforts in working to establish a Greek immigrant museum in the metropolitan area. She offered enthusiastic words of encouragement on this project. As a “museum in the making”, she urged the support from the general public to establish such an institution in the near future.

A large audience watched the photographs, which traced the story of the early immigrants, an under documented group that comprised people from varied backgrounds who managed to find their way in industry, commerce and trade. The presentation included some vintage pictures from the turn of the century. A lively question and answer period followed the presentation.
