With an unprovoked war raging in Ukraine, while the over a million Ukrainian Americans watch and worry about their relatives, we can see yet again how deeply the world's troubles affect our friends, families and neighbors.  This is a good time to support our Ukranian American neighbors, while also getting to know a culture which has enriched our own almost since our nation's beginning.  Ukrainian American communities can be found in many U.S. cities, such as New York (160,000), Philadelphia (60,000), Chicago (46,000), Detroit (45,000), Los Angeles (36,000), Cleveland (26,000), and Indianapolis (16,000).  Today's Ukrainian American festivals have an added purpose and poignancy, as many are now raising funds to send to Ukraine, while also encouraging the local community. At the same time, they remain a compelling -- and, yes, fun -- way for visitors to get to know this rich, lively culture.
