On Display in Athens
You can visit an official Letter from the Back Row of History in Athens, Greece! The letter was recited during a weekly gathering of The Symposium at the Athens-based restaurant Σόουλ Κίτσεν (Soul Kitchen) in early 2026. Subsequently, the letter was framed and placed on display at Σόουλ Κίτσεν where it remains exhibited today. Members are encouraged to visit the Athens Letter on pilgrimage.
