The formal program begins at 5:00 p.m., with a presentation by Dominic Pacyga, an Emeritus Professor of History at Columbia College and the author of, inter alia, American Warsaw: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Polish Chicago and Chicago: A Biography, on how changing immigration laws have affected Polish immigration.
