Portrait of a Community
On January 30, the Chaldean News, in partnership with the Chaldean Community Foundation, hosted the Portrait of a Community cultural event, premiering powerful stories captured for the Library of Congress Digital Archives Collection. The event, attended by over 200 guests, celebrated the rich Chaldean heritage through a blend of authentic cuisine, traditional music, and dance. Guests were also moved by film excerpts of interviews that highlighted the vibrant Chaldean community in Metro Detroit. These contributions will now be preserved in the Library of Congress, safeguarding our culture for future generations within the world’s largest library. This unforgettable event was made possible by the generous support of the Library of Congress, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the Chaldean Community Foundation.
