Mar. 09^th 2024 is Taras Shevchenko's 210th Birthday.
Let us honor his memory and not forget his teachings!

In our nation’s capital, Washington D.C., a monument of Taras Shevchenko stands. The monument was unveiled in 1964 by President Eisenhower. Our Greater Boston community was there arriving in at least 2 buses.
Below are some photos from that event.

Who Was Taras Shevchenko?
The Foremost Ukrainian poet of the 19th century and a gifted painter. He became a major figure of the Ukrainian national revival.  He suffered oppression and exile for his steadfast support of the rights of individuals and especially for his use and support of his native Ukrainian language and Ukraine’s right to rule itself.
           For Ukrainians, Taras Shevchenko holds an unparalleled place in our hearts and in our history. Even in the face of oppression, his portraits adorned Ukrainian homes, and his words echoed through generations. In the current struggle against Russian aggression and oppression he is a relevant and potent symbol of Ukraine’s aspirations to continue to rule its own land as a member nation of the free world.
           Two years ago, when Russia invaded Ukraine, a Russian soldier shot his monument at Borodianka, near Kyiv. It's only one of many, many instances when oppressive Russian regimes have showed a violent fear of Shevchenko.
