  • COMMUNITY SURVEY

    Many thanks go to those who already took our online survey, and many thanks in advance to those who will this time around!

    It is basic questionnaire that was developed by Dr Mounira Maya Charrad at the University of Texas, in partial collaboration with the Tunisian Community Center.

    The findings of the survey on the characteristics of Tunisian Americans will help all of us gain a better understanding of who we are as a community and will also help guide our Organization in future projects. If you have any questions, you may contact Dr Charrad or Mr Khemili ....Best wishes.


    TUNISIAN OF THE MONTH

    "A mere human who, in the face of mankind's capacity to do the unthinkable, took the right action believing that doing nothing was unacceptable and unthinkable."

    The following article, is about the late Khaled Abdelwahhab who was honored this past April in Los Angeles for having saved Tunisian Jews from Nazi persecution.


    INTERVIEW WITH "KANTARA"

    "Kantara" in Tunisian dialect means "Bridge", a most appropriate name for a Music Band made up of Tunisian and American artists.

    The following is a interview with lead singer Brennan Gilmore, conducted by the Gazette's contributing editor Slim Menzli.
