A tribute to the modern Greek heroes--the men and women who came to America with little more than their optimism about life in a new land. They changed the cultural landscape of America with their accomplishments in the arts, politics, business, and education. Prominent Greek Americans tell the stories of their families and describe the enduring value of their Greek heritage and traditions.
Includes two programs, one that focuses on the experiences of first-generation Greek Americans and one that describes the challenges and rewards of passing the torch to the next generation.
