Mongolian Independence Celebration in New York 12/28/11

posted Dec 19, 2011 1:19 PM by FOM Administrator

On hundred years ago an active national struggle resulted in the overthrow of the Manchu administration and Mongolia declared independence from the Ching empire on December 29, 1911. The eighth Jebtzundamba Khutukhtu was proclaimed Bogd Khan, head of a theocratic government. Thus Mongolia reestablished its national independence and a new era of Mongolian statehood began in the 20th century.

The New York city based Mongol Heritage Foundation, the Mongolian Culture Center of Washington DC and the Arti-Cour Gallery from Mongolia will organize a celebration to mark the 100th anniversary of Mongolian Independence at the Mongol Heritage Foundation office in Flushing, New York. Mongols who live in the surrounding New York area are warmly invited. The celebration will be held on December  28, beginning at 6pm.

Mongol Heritage Foundation Vice President D.Byambakhuu will make a short speech about the significance of Mongolian independence to the world’s Mongols.

Dr. Saruulerdene President of the Mongolian Cultural Center Washington DC will present photos from his  private collection of Mongolian revolutionary groups from 1924-1927.

Teacher and artist Ms. Jaakhankhuu, Arti-Cour Gallery from Mongolia, will display Mongolian Calligraphy and discuss how Mongol ‘Bichig’ has become Art in modern Mongolia.  

The Mongol Heritage Foundation office is located at 135-53 Northern Blvd Suite 202 Flushing, NY 11353 Telephone 718-353-2707 202-718-4638, 212-417-1217 or email  info@mongolcc.org
