Excellent article. A must read. Bravo Ani.
This was so needed. Especially now. Thank you, Ani!
Thank you for this heartfelt and informed article. I hope it can be shared widely within Armenian-American communities across the country. I’m a graduate of an Armenian school in the U.S. and my son is a graduate as well. Like you, we feel grateful and empowered by the lifelong gift of language, history, identity and community we wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else. My mother, now 90 years old, was born in the U.S. at a time when there wasn’t one Armenian school here. In the 1950’s, with no Armenian schools yet established in the U.S., the Armenian Relief Society sent her to an Armenian school in Beirut, Lebanon for a year of immersion in Armenian language and history courses. We’ve come a long way as an Armenian-American community since then, due in good part to our schools. With their strong sense of identity and their knowledge of the Armenian language, history, and traditions, our Armenian school graduates are the source of our national preservation in the diaspora and are the well-positioned to contribute readily and substantially to the progress of our homeland.
