Chicago marks independence anniversaries

As in previous years, the Ukrainian American community in Chicago marked the January 22 anniversaries of Ukrainian independence (1918) and the unification of eastern and western Ukrainian territories (1919) with a banquet and concert. This year's commemoration was held on January 26 at Ss. Volodymyr and Olha Cultural Center with an audience of 300 attending. The president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, Askold Lozynskyj, was the keynote speaker.
