Education<br />
As with most immigrant families, education is a<br />
priority in Chaldean households. These archival<br />
photos from the Chaldean Cultural Center<br />
show classes in Baghdad as well as Detroit,<br />
with Chaldean teachers in all classrooms. The<br />
Chaldean mission in Michigan remains to educate<br />
fellow citizens about who Chaldeans are.<br />
