Zahvaljujući jednom od vas, 1918. godine, zastava Srbije vijorila se iznad The White House. Bio je to samo jedan od gestova koji su odražavali solidarnost Amerikanaca sa srpskim narodom koji je užasno propatio za vreme Prvog svetskog rata. https://bit.ly/3zCExFf

Univerzitetska biblioteka “Svetozar Marković” danas slavi 96. rođendan. Malo ljudi zna da su izgradnju inicirali Mihajlo Pupin, srpski diplomata Slavko Grujić i njegova supruga Mejbl, a Karnegi fondacija uložila je velika sredstva za njenu izgradnju. Biblioteka je konačno otvorena 1926. godine i danas predstavlja značajno ostvarenje akademizma u sprskoj međuratnoj arhitekturi. Fondacija je donirala i ogroman broj knjiga, a bista Endrua Karnegija se danas nalazi na ulazu u biblioteku. Uz nesebičnu pomoć Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, ovoj arhitektonskoj lepotici obnovljena je fasada 2018. godine. Srećan rođendan!

For Harvard Club of Serbia members:

The Harvard Clubs of Boston and Ireland in partnership with Harvard Clubs and Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) from around the globe are honored and delighted to bring the next installment of our Harvard Alumni Allyship Series.

Following our successful events focusing on Anti-Racism Allyship (October) and Allyship with the LGBTQ+ community (November), this month will be a case study in Allyship focusing on Indigenous Peoples.

This event will tell the incredible story of the relationship between the people of Ireland and the Indigenous Peoples of North America - especially the Choctaw, Navajo, and Hopi people. An amazing giving circle was started by a gift of $170 from the Choctaw people to the Irish during the Potato Famine in the mid-1800s. That life-sustaining gift is now being paid forward by the Irish people to the Navajo and Hopi people during their special challenges in the face of COVID-19.

Wednesday 24 February 2021 – Virtual Event!

1:00PM Navajo Time;
2:00PM Choctaw Time; 

3:00PM Massachusetts Time;
8:00PM Dublin Time
9:00PM Belgrade Time
