Our History
He who searches for his beloved is not afraid of the world. Nezami
How it all began
In 1990, a group of dedicated Iranian visionaries, living in the suburbs of Philadelphia, established the Iranian Cultural Society of America (Shabahang). They felt that it was necessary and important to have an Iranian cultural center in Philadelphia.
It is with gratitude that we acknowledge and extend our sincere appreciation to the following individuals for their vision. They are the “Founding Members” of Shabahang:
- Mr. Akbar Bonakdarpour
- Mr. Mohammad Golesorkhi
- Mr. Manouchehr Jalali
- Mr. Iraj Maany
- Mr. Mohammad Kazem Moayed
- Mr. Houshang Rahnama
- Ms. Parvin Sarvestani
- Mr. Mostafa Shayegan
- Mr. Mohammad Teymour
- Mr. Ezi Yermian (Deceased)
