Famous Armenians in America
2:00pm 21.11.2011
In the early 20th century hundreds of thousands of Armenians were forced to leave their homeland to be able to survive through difficult years for the Armenian history. Many of the immigrants settled in the United States and made their important contribution to the life and society in the U.S.
These DIasporan Armenians quickly adjusted to the American way of life, they got good education and became famous writers, composers, singers, outstanding figures of art and science far from their country. We do have a reason to know them and be proud of them for their works of science and art. That’s why pupils at Armenian high schools study about those famous American-Armenians. And this was one of the reasons that such a presentation contest entitled "Armenians in America” was organized at Kapan American Corner.
On November 25, at 3:00 p.m. nine pupils, the young readers of Kapan American Corner, presented their posters and essays about William Saroyan, Archile Gorky, Alan Hovhannes, Serj Tankian, Kim Kardashian, Cher (Cherilyn Sarkisian) and Kerk Kerkoryan. Our readers presented the life and artistic legacy of these celebrities who have made a great contribution not only for the United States or Armenians but for the whole world.
In the end none of the presentations was nominated as the best one, because we found all the presentations really interesting and informative. All the participants received E-journal magazines from Kapan American Corner.
