How a Facebook group exploded into a Slovak-American cultural phenomenon

Popis udalosti/akcie/projektu:

Michael Meehan started online community to help people reconnect with their ancestral heritage. Having spent much of his childhood in a town where ethnicity played a central role in community life, when Michael John Meehan moved from western Pennsylvania to Philadelphia he found himself missing the Slovak traditions that had permeated his upbringing. So he decided to found a small Facebook group dedicated to Slovak ancestry, hoping to share memories and traditions with a few like-minded people. His expectations were not great – he doubted he would get much response. Instead, the tiny online gathering he anticipated gradually grew into a vibrant community of nearly 23,000 members.
