Can this heritage be saved?
Description
Feature article on the present (1977) cultural situation of Franco Americans in Maine. Discussion of their minority demographics, as well as local, academic, and federal intiatives to bolster bilingual educational support, community solidarity, and public recognition. Looks specifically to the Acadians of the St. John Valley and the Francos of the lower half of the state, especially in Lewiston, and the differences between their communities and histories. Written in light of pending federal legislation to recognize Franco-Americans as an official and distinct minority group, thereby making available more federal money for culturally relevant programs.
