Promoting Polish Heritage
Shifting some of its efforts away from Poland, the Legion has focused a significant amount of donations to causes closer to home since the 1950s. Part of the purpose of this shift has been to ensure that Polish culture, heritage, and traditions retain a strong presence within the Polish-American community in Chicago and across the country.
The Legion’s emphasis on Polish heritage in the United States is explored in the following sections: Polish Literature Chair at the University of Chicago, Polish Cultural Organizations, and Education.
