Description

<DIV><P>At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Michigan was home to the second-largest Belgian population in the United States, and Detroit had one of the largest Belgian populations in the nation.

Although immigration declined after World War I, the Belgian- American community is still prominent in the state.

Political, religious, and economic conditions, including a nineteenth- century economic depression, helped motivate the move to America.

Belgians brought with them the ability and willingness to innovate, as well as a tradition of hard work and devotion.

The <I>Gazette van Detroit</I>, a Flemish-language newspaper first printed in Detroit in 1914, continues to be produced and distributed to subscribers throughout the United States and overseas.

Belgian-Americans continue to incorporate traditional values with newfound American values, enabling them to forever preserve their heritage.</P></DIV>
