You are invited to attend!

Please join us on Monday, October 21 at 12:30 p.m. in Falvey Memorial Library’s room 205 for a talk by me –  ’72 CLASS on L’America. I will discuss the late 19th and early 20th century emigration of Italians to this country, including the reason for the exodus of millions and the brutal passage via steamship during those years. I will cover the challenges of assimilation, concluding  the largely unknown events (the labeling of Italians as enemy aliens, internment in camps throughout the country, and forced relocation on the west coast) leading up to World War II.

I hope to see you all there!
