Ambassador James B. Cunningham and Akko Mayor Shimon Lankri opened the new American Corner in Akko on April 1, 2009. The new Corner is located in the recently refurbished Crusader structure at the A-Saraya, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Over 150 community leaders, educators, and business people from Akko and surrounding areas attended the opening ceremony. Peter Yarrow of the American folk group Peter, Paul, and Mary and Israeli music legend David Broza headlined the gala opening.
