Title
A name given to the resource
El-Khouri Family
Description
An account of the resource
These materials were provided by Marsha El-Khouri Shiver and primarily relate to the life of her father, Joseph Maroun El-Khouri, and his family in Lebanon and in the United States. <br />
<h5>Biography</h5>
Joseph Maroun El-Khouri was born in 1924 in Kour, Batroun, Lebanon and Mariam Thomee Yazbek El-Khouri, one of seven children. His father, Reverend Joseph Michael Maroun El-Khouri was a Maronite priest, and at least one sibling, Sister Victorine El-Khouri, followed his example and joined religious orders. <br /><br />Joseph served as an intelligence agent and interpreter for Great Britain during World War II. In 1949, Joseph travelled to Minneapolis, Minnesota to help settle an uncle’s estate. Initially Joseph had no intention of immigrating permanently to the United States, but soon after he arrived he met and fell in love with Rose Isaac while visiting relatives who lived in the large Lebanese community located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Rose was the daughter of Thanios (Thomas) Isaac and Moura (Nora) Lawandos Isaac, who immigrated to the United States in 1912 and 1914, respectively, and were married in 1917. Thanios Isaac supported his wife and five children by working various laboring jobs, including for the railroad and a local wiremill. Thanios Isaac passed away in 1939. <br /><br />Joseph and Rose married in Rose’s hometown in 1950, and moved to Minneapolis where they operated a grocery store until 1953. Joseph was naturalized in 1954 with the help of his friend Vice President Hubert Humphrey, at the time a Minnesota senator. In 1955, Joseph and Rose moved to Andrews, North Carolina, to be closer to Rose’s sister Bessie Isaac Jabaley, who was living near her husband’s family in Copper Hill, TN. The Jabaley’s helped the growing El-Khouri family establish themselves in their new home by making Joseph the manager of their department store, Jabaley’s, which Joseph purchased and renamed to Khouri’s in 1965. The store remained open until 1989. <br /><br />Joseph quickly established himself as a prominent civic leader in North Carolina. He served on a number of boards and service organizations including: the Andrews Lion Club, Western Carolina University Board of Visitors, Cherokee County United Way, the Andrews Chamber of Commerce, and the Daniel Boone Council of Boy Scouts. Joseph was a devoted Democrat, even serving, with his eldest son George, as an elected delegate to the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta. In addition to these civic and political accomplishments, Joseph and Rose were pillars of the Catholic community in North Carolina, holding the town’s first Catholic masses in their own home, and donating the land upon which the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church was built in Andrews, North Carolina. <br /><br />Joseph and Rose had seven children: George Maron El-Khouri, Theresa El-Khouri Martin, Mariam El-Khouri Gerber, Marsha El-Khouri Shiver, Barbara El-Khouri, Catherine El-Khouri, and Anthony El-Khouri. Joseph passed away on July 22, 2012; at the time of collection acquisition (2012), Rose El-Khouri was still living. Since his passing, Joseph El-Khouri’s contributions to North Carolina have been recognized locally, and his legacy has been carried forth by his children and grandchildren.<br />
<h5>Scope and Content</h5>
The collection consists of photographs, letters, documents, and articles relating to the life of Joseph Maroun El-Khouri, his wife Rose Isaac El-Khouri, and his children. The material details Joseph's career and community contributions as well as providing insight into multiple generations of Lebanese-American family life.<br /><br />The collection also contains photographs and letters relating to Joseph El-Khouri’s relatives in Lebanon, as well as materials from Rose Isaac El-Khouri’s family in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Golpeados
por la guerra
Líbano lleva casi medio siglo viviendo el horror de
la guerra. Al establecerse Israel en 1948 y al llegar
los refugiados palestinos, el país se dividió. En 1958,
se desató una rebelión musulmana en contra de cristianos que fue aplastada por EU. Pero la guerra civil
entre musulmanes y cristianos estalló otra vez en
1975. Siria intervino para forzar un cese al fuego en
1976. Unas 50 mil personas murieron.
La lucha se reanudó en 1977 y en 1978, Israel invadió
al país para destruir bases palestinas.
El Estado hebreo invadió de nuevo en 1982. Bombardeó la parte musulmana de Beirut, forzando a
7 mil palestinos a dejar el país. Se desplegó una fuerza multinacional para proteger a civiles musulmanes
pero Israel permitió a extremistas cristianos entrar a
campos de refugiados para masacrar a más de mil
civiles. En 1983, un ataque contra la EU que dejó
50 muertos hizo que las fuerzas occidentales se retiraran. La presión internacional condujo a un acuerdo de reconciliación nacional. En 1991 cesaron finalmente los combates.

EIRUT.- Hace apenas 12 años, las calles y edificios de esta capital sangraban infestados de
francotiradores y minas explosivas, como una
herida abierta en el corazón de Líbano.
La guerra civil que se alargó de 1975 a 1991
dejó al país fragmentado, pero hoy Beirut resurge para
convertirse de nuevo en el principal centro económico y
cultural de Medio Oriente.
“Este es uno de los más ambiciosos proyectos de desarrollo y reconstrucción urbana en el mundo contemporáneo”, dice Nabil Rached, representante de la Compañía
Libanesa para el Desarrollo y Reconstrucción del Centro
de Beirut (SOLIDERE, por sus siglas en francés).
A la fecha, más de 300 edificios han sido renovados o
reconstruidos dentro del sector del centro de Beirut, una
zona urbana con más de 6 mil años de antigüedad.
Sus 180 hectáreas son la sede financiera, política y
social de este país, de 4 millones de habitantes, donde ya
conviven de nuevo 18 distintas sectas religiosas, además
de varios grupos étnicos que forman el país árabe más
diverso.
“Hemos concluido ya el 90 por ciento de los trabajos
de la primera fase de restauración, y la vida ha vuelto al
centro de Beirut”, asegura Rached. La segunda etapa de
revitalización abarcará de 2005 al 2020.
Para muchos extranjeros, el renacimiento de Beirut
puede parecer inconcebible. Las mismas estructuras que
fueron durante años el teatro de bombardeos y matanzas,
ahora han reencarnado en flamantes edificios, calles
amplias, limpias y adornadas con flores. Todo esto en
medio de una vibrante actividad cosmopolita, donde la
población parece haber olvidado los conflictos pasados.
“El proyecto cubre 4.6 millones de metros cuadrados de
construcción, y el plan maestro prevé que el 50 por ciento
del sector consista en áreas verdes y espacios públicos”,
explico Rashed.
Esto incluye la transformación de un gigantesco basurero, formado por la guerra, en lo que será el mayor
parque de Beirut.
SOLIDERE fue fundada en 1994, a instancia de Rafic
Hariri, un millonario libanés que se ha convertido en
político y que ahora funge como Primer Ministro del país.
Bajo decreto gubernamental, SOLIDERE embargó todo
el barrio del centro de Beirut, y otorgó acciones a los
antiguos dueños de los edificios afectados. La empresa
desarrolla, vende y alquila las nuevas propiedades, repartiendo las utilidades entre sus más de 40 mil accionistas.
“Con este proyecto, Beirut ya comenzó a cicatrizar”,
dijo Rashed, agregando que además de remozar cientos
de edificios y docenas de calles, SOLIDERE esta creando
una nueva zona de uso múltiple.
Así, el centro alberga, además de oficinas y comercios,
escuelas, parques, clubes, una marina, hoteles, Embajadas, edificios públicos y 23 mil metros cuadrados de sitios
arqueológicos.
“Antes de finalizar 2005 estarán reconstruidos los
bazares de Beirut, con sus mercados de artesanía, joyería
y alimentos, todo integrado a un nuevo distrito que será
el principal sector de entretenimiento en Oriente Medio”,
dice Rashed, entusiasmado.
La zona de esparcimiento mezclará cines y teatros, y
estará ligada al resto del perímetro. Sorprendentemente,
la delincuencia es mínima en la ciudad, y es posible pasear
por sus calles a cualquier hora con menos preocupación que
en las grandes metrópolis estadounidenses y europeas.
Algunos críticos de SOLIDERE se quejan de los altos
costos del alquiler en los nuevos locales de la zona, que,
según la prensa local, pueden alcanzar entre 800 y mil
dólares anuales por metro cuadrado. Los comerciantes,
por el privilegio de establecerse ahí, deben pagar el alquiler hasta un año por adelantado.
Aparte del centro, el aeropuerto de Beirut ha sido
reconstruido totalmente, al igual que el principal estadio
deportivo de la ciudad, que había sido destruido durante

Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/historical note</h4>
<p>Reverend Tobia Attallah was a reverend of the Maronite Church who lived in Bayt Shabab village in Lebanon in the early twentieth century. He correspondended with three of his children, Krouger, Nadim and As’ad Attallah who lived and worked in various locations including Argentina, Brazil, Guinea, Mali, and Ghana. Krouger and Nadim were more regular correspondents, and letters in the collection from each of them document the strife of migration and their travels to and from Lebanon.</p>
<h4>Scope/content note</h4>
<p>The Collection of Reverend Tobia Attallah letters includes letters mostly written to Reverend Attallah from 1896-1959. The writers often speak of their business, families, and financial standing. Beginning in 1914, the bulk of the letters are from three of his sons, Krouger, Nadim and As’ad Attallah. This collection shows one family's emotional turmoil and their struggles as they cope with living abroad with limited communication to their family and friends back home in Lebanon.</p>
<p>The materials consist of approximately 200 letters and 40 other items including envelopes and notes. Some of the latter items may have little or no relation to the Attallah letters, but the materials have been kept together as they were originally donated.</p>
<p>To read more about this collection and how it relates to the broader experience of immigration you can access Dr. Akram Khater's blog post <a href="https://lebanesestudies.news.chass.ncsu.edu/2020/08/17/letters-from-afar/">"Letters from Afar: New Khayrallah Center collection of letters from West Africa to Lebanon"</a>.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/historical note</h4>
<p>Reverend Tobia Attallah was a reverend of the Maronite Church who lived in Bayt Shabab village in Lebanon in the early twentieth century. He correspondended with three of his children, Krouger, Nadim and As’ad Attallah who lived and worked in various locations including Argentina, Brazil, Guinea, Mali, and Ghana. Krouger and Nadim were more regular correspondents, and letters in the collection from each of them document the strife of migration and their travels to and from Lebanon.</p>
<h4>Scope/content note</h4>
<p>The Collection of Reverend Tobia Attallah letters includes letters mostly written to Reverend Attallah from 1896-1959. The writers often speak of their business, families, and financial standing. Beginning in 1914, the bulk of the letters are from three of his sons, Krouger, Nadim and As’ad Attallah. This collection shows one family's emotional turmoil and their struggles as they cope with living abroad with limited communication to their family and friends back home in Lebanon.</p>
<p>The materials consist of approximately 200 letters and 40 other items including envelopes and notes. Some of the latter items may have little or no relation to the Attallah letters, but the materials have been kept together as they were originally donated.</p>
<p>To read more about this collection and how it relates to the broader experience of immigration you can access Dr. Akram Khater's blog post <a href="https://lebanesestudies.news.chass.ncsu.edu/2020/08/17/letters-from-afar/">"Letters from Afar: New Khayrallah Center collection of letters from West Africa to Lebanon"</a>.</p>
