    THE ARMENIANS IN RHODE ISLAND THE ARMENIANS Ancient Roots to Present Experiences· IN BY RHODE ISLAND ARA ARTHUR GELENIAN Ancient Roots to Present Experiences ! BY ARA ARTHUR GELENIAN Rhode Island Ethnic Heritage Pamphlet Series Published Jointly by The Rhode Island Heritage Commission and The Rhode Island Publications Society Providence, 1985 I I i EDITOR'S FOREWORD In 1975 and 1976, on the eve of the bicentennial observance, in my -capacity as chairman of Rhode Island's celebration (ri76), I established eighteen ethnic heritage committees, consisting of recognized leaders of this state's major ethnocultural groups.

I urged such groups to observe and commemorate the contributions they had made to the American and Rhode Island experience from the time of their arrival down to the bicentennial year. A much more important reason for establishing the ethnic heritage program, however, was to allow each group to present its unique contributions, customs, and folkways to its neighbors from other cultural backgrounds. Formulated under the premise that knowledge promotes understanding and understanding begets brotherhood, the program was designed to break down the ethnocentric barriers and antagonisms that hindered us from achieving that lofty motto and goal-E pluribus unum, one out of Published jointly by many.
