Vera B. Saeedpour, Scholar and Archivist of the Kurdish Culture, Dies at 80
Posted by KSSO in News on 09. Jun, 2010 | No Comments
“A chance meeting in midlife led to a lifelong interest in an obscure, long-oppressed ethnic group.”
On the 30th of May, 2010, Vera B. Saeedpour, a longtime friend to and scholar on the Kurdish nation died at the age of 80. She spent many years of her life dedicated to highlighting and raising awareness of the plight of the Kurdish nation in the Middle East, as well as helping to preserve Kurdish culture through the establishment of a library and museum.
In 1981 the first Kurdish Program in the United States was established in New York City by Vera Beaudin Saeedpour, widow of Homayoun Saeedpour, a Kurd from Sanandaj in Iran, with the aim of informing Americans of the existence and plight of his people, the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East. Initially operating under the aegis of Cultural Survival Inc., the Program subsequently established the Kurdish Heritage Foundation of America solely to support the Kurdish Library and Museum.
