Focusing on the late 19th century through the 1930s, we will look at the wide variety of reading material being created and consumed in the Polish American community, including religious materials, newspapers, and literature written in Poland and the United States, including translations and original works. We will pay special attention to the publishing companies that served the Polish American community and to the writing produced by the immigrants themselves chronicling and interpreting their experiences in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polish Heritage Center in Panna Maria invites all interested to the next virtual lecture on Thursday, March 20th, at 6:00 pm.
