 During the last 2,500 years Assyrians have survived primarily because they have been eager to preserve their culture, heritage and nationality. Unfortunately now that they have migrated to the west they face insurmountable difficulties that threaten their survival as distinct people. Since its inception in 1964 the Assyrian Association has been dedicated to the survival of the Assyrian heritage in the U.S. especially in the Southern California. Its various activities since then have been dedicated to fulfilling such goal. Until two decades ago the Assyrian population in Southern California lived predominantly in the Los Angeles area and most Assyrians were active in the Association but since then they have scattered in many far away cities which makes it difficult for them to get together as often as possible, therefore the role of the Association in solving this problem has become even more crucial. Such difficulties can only be resolved with the willing help of the entire community. |
