The Youngstown American-Hungarian Federation of Churches and Societies will host a commemorative event of the 1848 war of independence at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Aut Mori Grotto Hall, 563 N. Belle Vista Ave.

The program will feature a look back into the history of Hungary during the 1800 and 1900’s. Several local musicians will share traditional Hungarian melodies, and poems will be recited. Featured speakers are Endre Csoman and Leslie Polgar.

The annual event allows the Hungarian community to gather to remember past struggles of battles for political and religious freedoms for their native homeland.
