AHEPA
Participates
at 50th
Anniversary
of Selma to
Montgomery
March

A

HEPA, represented by Supreme President Phillip T. Frangos, participated at
events held March 6 to 8, 2015 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
Selma to Montgomery March for voting rights. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led
the march, and Archbishop Iakovos of North and South America, who stood
side-by-side with Dr. King, participated.
"We are proud to participate at events to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of this
historic moment in the Civil Rights Movement in America in solidarity with the African
American community," Supreme President Frangos said. "We are participating in honor
of those who bravely marched fifty years ago, including Dr. King, Archbishop Iakovos,
a proud AHEPA member; and all civil rights leaders. AHEPA remains committed to the
principles and rights that these bold Americans fought to uphold and secure."
Past Supreme President Ike Gulas, Supreme Counselor Greg Stamos, and Executive
Director Basil Mossaidis accompanied the supreme president at events held at historic
venues such as the 16th Street Baptist Church, the Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church, and
the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
"In March 1965, I was 15 months old and living in the suburbs of Philadelphia,
almost 1,000 miles away from Selma, Alabama," Executive Director Mossaidis wrote in
his blog piece that reflected on his visit to Selma. "In 2015, at the 50th anniversary of
historic Selma to Montgomery March for voting rights, I was honored to be walking the
streets and on the bridge that defined the Civil Rights Movement in America. I'm proud
that AHEPA was the only American Hellenic organization there."
