“There are many myths and stereotypes about the Gypsies, or Roma, as they are frequently called,” noted Dr. Pops. “My presentation focuses on the evidence drawn from historians, linguists, and modern-day writers to paint a picture of how this multi-ethnic race of people, originating in India, evolved and moved. I will describe this group’s culture and beliefs, conflicts with non-Gypsy peoples, and problems and prospects in today's world.”
