Irish American Studies
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The Irish American Studies Committee aims to disseminate information about the culture, literature and history of the Irish people. We hope this information will be used by teachers in New York City schools.
We cherish our culture and must ensure that it is not forgotten. We must remember that Irish tradition was mostly oral; and it was this tradition, along with the writings of the monks in medieval Ireland, that kept the flame of scholarship alive in Europe during its darkest days. May it continue to shine brightly!
