Listen Later

Join us for an engaging conversation with Gerard Maroney and Mike Crispi, two key figures in the revival of the Italian American Civil Rights League. These guests take us on a journey through their Italian roots, sharing stories that highlight the vibrant culinary traditions of Naples and Sicily. As we indulge in our shared love for tripe and discuss the unique preparation methods in Trapani, listeners will feel the warmth of our Italian American heritage, whether experienced on the bustling streets of New York or New Jersey.

Our discussion moves into the sphere of advocacy, where Gerard shares his insights as a criminal defense attorney on the erasure of Columbus Day and the biases prevalent in the legal system. We explore the resurgence of the Italian American Civil Rights League, aiming to unite factions across states to combat stereotypes and demand fair treatment. The past achievements of the League, like the historic gathering at Columbus Circle, inspire our commitment to ensuring the cultural identity and heritage of Italian Americans remain respected and protected.

Throughout the episode, we reflect on the tenacity and entrepreneurial spirit that define the Italian American experience. From the pressures of assimilation to the profound impact on cultural landscapes across anglophone countries, our conversation underscores the significance of representation and understanding. Through personal experiences, we acknowledge the sacrifices of past generations and the ongoing journey to secure a rightful place in a diverse Italian American identity.
