Kazimierz Lukomski (1920 - 1991) served as vice-president of the Polish American Congress (PAC), president of the Mutual Aid Association of the New Polish Immigration, and co-chairman of the National Polish-American Jewish American Council. The Polish American Congress was an umbrella group of Polish American organizations and wielded considerable influence within the immigrant community and beyond. Exiled from his native Poland in 1945, Lukomski emigrated to the United States where he was employed by Papermate and Barton Brands, Ltd. Lukomski advocated cooperation with other immigrant communities within the United States including Lithuanians and was a pioneer in establishing a dialogue between Polish and Jewish Americans. He helped to coordinate Black Ribbon Day, an annual protest of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that established German and Soviet spheres of influence in East Central Europe. Lukomski served as head of the PAC's Polish Affairs Commission for twenty years and consistently advocated freedom and democracy for Poland.
