Suzanna Halsey: I organised New York celebration of Velvet Revolution from offices of Penthouse

Suzanna Halsey is one of the most active members of the Czech community in
New York and describes herself as an inveterate organiser. Alongside
teaching Czech and other work, she is on the board of the New York chapter
of the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences and is involved with
Friends of Czech Greenways. When I caught up with Halsey at the city’s
Bohemian National Hall, I first asked her about her own background in
Czechoslovakia.
