The American Nationalities Movement held its Annual Captive Nations event on July 17th, and one of the two honorees was the Cleveland Hungarian Museum. The American Nationalities Movement has 49 nationalities which are represented in this unique organization, a fact that demonstrates that Cleveland is indeed an ethnically diverse city. In his letter to the members, Ralph J. Perk, Jr. wrote “Each, through their work in their respective fields, has made a great difference in their respective communities and for the greater benefit of all our nationalities.” Ralph Perk was absolutely correct in his assessment of the Museum’s role in enriching the Cleveland Hungarian community as well as the greater Northeast Ohio community. Janos Szigeti, our president, accepted the award on behalf of all the Museum officers, its Board, and the entire membership. Many members of our Board as well as friends of the Museum attended the dinner. (Thanks to Mike Horvath, one of our Board members, for the photograhs!)
