Heartbeat in the Deep South: A History of the Greek Community in

Most arrived with little money and few possessions, but they all embraced a fierce work ethic
and a desire to create a better life for themselves and their families. They also
brought with them their centuries-old faith that led them to establish a Greek
Orthodox Church in Birmingham in 1907 which has now achieved Cathedral
status.
Father Paul Costopoulos, the Dean of the Holy Trinity-Holy Cross
Cathedral in Birmingham, reviewed the book and wrote: “Niki successfully
captures the unique history of the Greeks in Birmingham. Every Greek in
Birmingham should be grateful and proud of what Niki has so thoroughly
researched and so beautifully written. It is a story that is both fresh and
engaging.”
