Assyrian Star - Part VI: 1962

The Assyrian Star is the longest running Assyrian publication in the United States. The first issue appeared in January 1952. The Assyrian Star was conceived as “An independent publication of, by and for Assyrians” pledged to avoid “prejudice, bias, clannishness, sectarianism and unwholesome and destructive criticism”. It focused on news of Assyrian communities both in the United States and the rest of the world and was a model of cooperation between Assyrians from all religious and geographic backgrounds. Part VI contains the first four issues of 1962 and represent the last issues of the Assyrian Star published from Yonkers, New York under the editorship of Joseph P. Sargis. Following these issues, the Assyrian Star was published from Gary, Indiana under the editorship of Malcolm L. Karam.
