While March is most known for celebrating Women’s History Month, it is a time of representation for another large group of people, Greek-Americans.  Many aspects of everyday lives have come from the culture and history of Greece. Advancements in politics, philosophy, mathematics, literature, and so much more stemmed from the minds of the Greek people.  Greek-American Heritage Month, also known as Hellenic History Month, takes the time to appreciate Greek ideals and culture. This month coincides with March 25, marking Greek Independence Day; a day that remembers the start of the War of Greek Independence in 1821.
