The History of Serbian Immigrants in North America

It has been more than two centuries since the first Serb, Djordje Sagic, also known as Judge George Fisher, arrived to America through the Port of Philadelphia. Many Serbs immigrated to North America after Sagic. Some of them became famous historical figures like inventor Nikola Tesla, physicist Michael (Mihajlo) Pupin, the King Petar II Karadjordjevic of Yugoalavia, poet Jovan Ducic, Archbishop Nikolaj Velimirovic, performance artist Marina Abramovic, basketball player Vlade Divac and many more, but the life stories of the so-called "common" people, our contemporaries, may well be even more interesting.
