> Dear all,
> 46 years after the Greek Freedom Week (16-20 November 1970) that was organized by Greek students at York University against the dictatorship regime in Greece, the Hellenic Students Association at York commemorates the event. Join us on November 24 for an academic night to learn about the 1970 Greek Freedom Week and the anti-dictatorship struggle in the diaspora. We are delighted to present for the first time the original posters, photographs and press reports about the event from the collections of the York University Libraries Clara Thomas Archives. Our event also commemorates the anniversary of the Athens Polytechnic uprising in 1973. 
> We would like to thank especially Spyros Draenos for sharing his memories of the event, George Papadatos for donating his collection to the Greek Canadian History Project, the Clara Thomas Archives and especially the Hellenic Students Association for organizing the event. Please see poster attached.
> 
> All welcome,
> 
> best wishes
