America Week Celebration
in Archangel
A four person Rule of Law and
Sister City Delegation participated in the second annual
"America Week" in Archangel April
16 to 20, 2007. The week-long celebration was
sponsored by the Archangel City Administration, the Archangel Regional
Academic Library, the U.S. Consul General in Saint Petersburg, and
the City of Portland.
The centerpiece of "America Week" was a large
exhibition of photographs and paintings carried to Archangel by our Delegation.
A total of 83 works were displayed in the
beautifully restored 17th Century "Merchant Yard" Museum on
the Dvina Embankment in a show entitled "A View Across the Ocean:
Presenting America and American Life."
