They came from everywhere, mostly as immigrant orphans who lived
through the modern world's first ghastly genocide, convinced they
were the very few left who must save their heritage. Mitchnapert

established in Rhode Island and about the most difficult political

historical essays of past events provide much factual evidence and
familiarity to those who lived through the more recent periods. The
early business scene and descriptions of neighborhoods where
Armenians lived are recounted. Complex issues of how they are
surviving the ethnic melting pot syndrome, both present and in the
future are examined as second and third generation Armenian
Americans become the community's new decision makers. state and
those who moved elsewhere but still retain their Rhode Island
roots.
