The Zohrab Center warmly invites you to a book presentation with Dr. Ben Alexander, who will present his book Ararat in America: Armenian American Culture and Politics in the Twentieth Century. All are warmly invited to attend!

The contents of the book relate directly to the history of the Diocese of the Armenian Church and the Armenian American community of New York and the East Coast in general, and much of the research for the book was conducted in the Zohrab Center, which is warmly acknowledged by Dr. Alexander at the outset of the book.
