Many were of agrarian backgrounds, with little formal education and industrial skills, who became manual laborers heavily concentrated in the cities. Others came with traditional Italian skills as tailors; barbers; bricklayers; stonemasons and stone cutters; marble, tile, and terrazzo workers; fishermen; musicians; singers; shoe makers and shoe repairers; cooks and bakers; carpenters; grape growers; wine makers; silk makers; and dressmakers and seamstresses. Others came to provide for the needs of the immigrant communities, notably doctors, dentists, midwives, lawyers, teachers, morticians, priests, nuns, and brothers. Many of the skilled workers found work in their specialty, first in the Italian enclaves and eventually in the broader society. Traditional skills were often passed down from father to son and from mother to daughter. By the second generation, approximately 70 percent of the men had <a href="/wiki/Blue-collar_worker" title="Blue-collar worker">blue-collar</a> jobs, and the proportion was down to approximately 50 percent in the third generation, according to surveys in 1963.<a href="#cite_note-HEAEG1980-162">[162]</a> By 1987, the level of Italian American income exceeded the national average, and since the 1950s, it grew faster than any other ethnic group except the Jews.<a href="#cite_note-163">[163]</a> By 1990, according to the U.S. census, more than 65 percent of Italian Americans were employed as managerial, professional, or <a href="/wiki/White-collar_worker" title="White-collar worker">white-collar</a> workers.

Many of the 146 who died in the <a href="/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire" title="Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire">Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire</a> in 1911 were Italian American women. <a href="/wiki/Angela_Bambace" title="Angela Bambace">Angela Bambace</a> was an 18-year-old Italian American organizer for the <a href="/wiki/International_Ladies_Garment_Workers_Union" title="International Ladies Garment Workers Union">International Ladies Garment Workers Union</a> in New York who worked to secure better working conditions and shorter hours for women workers in the garment industry. The American scene in the 1920s featured a widespread expansion of women's roles, starting with the vote in 1920 and including new standards of education and employment for women and control of their own sexuality. "<a href="/wiki/Flappers" class="mw-redirect" title="Flappers">Flappers</a>" raised the hemline and lowered the old restrictions in women's fashion. The Italian American media disapproved. It demanded the holding of the line regarding traditional gender roles in which men controlled their families. Many traditional patriarchal values prevailed among Southern European male immigrants, although some practices, such as the dowry, were left behind in Europe. The community spokesmen were shocked at the notion of a woman marking her secret ballot. They ridiculed flappers and proclaimed that feminism was immoral. They idealized an old male model of Italian womanhood. Mussolini was popular with readers and subsidized some papers, so when he expanded the electorate to include some women voting at the local level, the Italian American editorialists applauded him, arguing that the true Italian woman was, above all, a mother and a wife and, therefore, would be reliable as a voter on local matters, but only in Italy. Feminist organizations in Italy were ignored, as the editors purposely associated emancipation with Americanism and transformed the debate over women's rights into a defense of the Italian American community to set its own boundaries and rules.<a href="#cite_note-168">[168]</a> The ethnic papers featured a woman's page that updated readers on the latest fabrics, color combinations, and accessories such as hats, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. Food was a major concern, and recipes were presented that adjusted to the availability of ingredients in the American market. Food supplies, which were limited in Italy by poverty and strict import controls, were abundant in America, so new recipes were needed.<a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a> In the second and third generations, opportunities expanded as women were gradually accepted in the workplace and as entrepreneurs. Women also had much better job opportunities because they had a high school or sometimes college education and because they were willing to leave the Little Italys and commute to work.<a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a> During World War II, large numbers of Italian American women entered the workforce in factories providing war materiel, while others served as auxiliaries or nurses in the military services. After World War II, Italian American women acquired an increasing degree of freedom in choosing a career and seeking higher levels of education. Consequently, the second half of the 20th century was a period in which Italian American women excelled in virtually all fields of endeavor.

published in the first half of the 20th century. <a href="/wiki/Pietro_Di_Donato" class="mw-redirect" title="Pietro Di Donato">Pietro Di Donato</a>, born in 1911, was a writer best known for his novel, <a href="/wiki/Christ_in_Concrete" title="Christ in Concrete">Christ in Concrete</a>, which was hailed by critics in the United States and abroad as a metaphor for the immigrant experience in America. <a href="/wiki/Frances_Winwar" title="Frances Winwar">Frances Winwar</a>, born Francesca Vinciguerra in 1907 in Sicily, came to the United States at age 10. She is best known for her series of biographies of 19th-century English writers. She was also a frequent translator of classic Italian works into English and published several romantic novels set during historical events. <a href="/wiki/John_Ciardi" title="John Ciardi">John Ciardi</a>, born in 1916, was primarily a poet. Among his works is a highly respected English-language rendition of <a href="/wiki/Dante_Alighieri" title="Dante Alighieri">Dante Alighieri</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Divine_Comedy" title="Divine Comedy">Divine Comedy</a>. <a href="/wiki/John_Fante" title="John Fante">John Fante</a>, born in 1909, was a novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter. Later in the century, a growing number of books by recognized Italian American authors, such as <a href="/wiki/Don_DeLillo" title="Don DeLillo">Don DeLillo</a>,<a href="#cite_note-171">[171]</a> <a href="/wiki/Paul_Gallico" title="Paul Gallico">Paul Gallico</a> (Poseidon Adventure), <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_Sorrentino" title="Gilbert Sorrentino">Gilbert Sorrentino</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gay_Talese" title="Gay Talese">Gay Talese</a>, <a href="/wiki/Camille_Paglia" title="Camille Paglia">Camille Paglia</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Mario_Puzo" title="Mario Puzo">Mario Puzo</a> (The Fortunate Pilgrim) found a place in mainstream American literature. Other notable 20th-century authors included <a href="/wiki/Dana_Gioia" title="Dana Gioia">Dana Gioia</a>, executive director of the <a href="/wiki/National_Endowment_for_the_Arts" title="National Endowment for the Arts">National Endowment for the Arts</a>; <a href="/wiki/John_Fusco" title="John Fusco">John Fusco</a>, author of Paradise Salvage; Tina DeRosa; and <a href="/wiki/Daniela_Gioseffi" title="Daniela Gioseffi">Daniela Gioseffi</a>, winner of the John Ciardi Award for Lifetime Achievement in Poetry, and The American Book Award; and <a href="/wiki/Josephine_Gattuso_Hendin" title="Josephine Gattuso Hendin">Josephine Gattuso Hendin</a> (The Right Thing to Do). Poets Sandra (Mortola) Gilbert and <a href="/wiki/Kim_Addonizio" title="Kim Addonizio">Kim Addonizio</a> were also winners of the John Ciardi Award for Lifetime Achievement in Poetry from Italian Americana, as was writer <a href="/wiki/Helen_Barolini" title="Helen Barolini">Helen Barolini</a> and poet <a href="/wiki/Maria_Mazziotti_Gillan" title="Maria Mazziotti Gillan">Maria Mazziotti</a> Gillan.<a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> These women have authored many books depicting Italian American women in a new light. Helen Barolini's The Dream Book: An Anthology of Writings by Italian American Women (1985) was the first anthology that pulled together the historic range of writing from the late 19th century to the 1980s. It exhibited the wealth of fiction, poetry, essays, and letters and paid special attention to the interaction of Italian American women with American social activism.<a href="#cite_note-173">[173]</a> Italian American poets <a href="/wiki/Lawrence_Ferlinghetti" title="Lawrence Ferlinghetti">Lawrence Ferlinghetti</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gregory_Corso" title="Gregory Corso">Gregory Corso</a> played a prominent role in the <a href="/wiki/Beat_Generation" title="Beat Generation">Beat Generation</a>.

She is especially interested in showing how authors portrayed the many configurations of family relationships, from the early immigrant narratives of journeying to a new world, through novels that stress intergenerational conflicts, to contemporary works about the struggle of modern women to form nontraditional gender roles.<a href="#cite_note-178">[178]</a> Among the scholars who have led the renaissance in Italian American literature are professors <a href="/wiki/Richard_Gambino" title="Richard Gambino">Richard Gambino</a>, <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Julian_Tamburri" title="Anthony Julian Tamburri">Anthony Julian Tamburri</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paolo_Giordano" title="Paolo Giordano">Paolo Giordano</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Fred_Gardaph%C3%A9" title="Fred Gardaphé">Fred Gardaphé</a>.

During World War II, in various parts of the country, the U.S. government displayed signs that read, "Don't Speak the Enemy's Language". Such signs designated the languages of the <a href="/wiki/Axis_powers" title="Axis powers">Axis powers</a>, German, Japanese and Italian, as "enemy languages". Shortly after the Axis powers declared war on the U.S., many Italian, Japanese and German citizens were interned. Among the Italian Americans, those who spoke Italian, who had never become citizens and who belonged to groups that praised <a href="/wiki/Benito_Mussolini" title="Benito Mussolini">Benito Mussolini</a>, were most likely to become candidates for internment. Distasi claims that many Italian language schools closed down in the <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Area" title="San Francisco Bay Area">San Francisco Bay Area</a> within a week of the U.S. declaration of war on the Axis powers. Such closures were inevitable since most of the teachers in Italian languages were interned. Despite previous decline, Italian and Sicilian are still spoken and studied by those of Italian American descent and it can be heard in various American communities, especially among older Italian Americans. The official Italian taught in schools is <a href="/wiki/Italian_language" title="Italian language">Standard Italian</a>, which is based on 14th century literary <a href="/wiki/Florentine_dialect" title="Florentine dialect">Florentine</a>.<a href="#cite_note-209">[209]</a> However, the "Italian" with which Italian Americans are generally acquainted is often rooted in the <a href="/wiki/Regional_Italian" title="Regional Italian">Regional Italian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Italo-Dalmatian_languages" title="Italo-Dalmatian languages">Italo-Dalmatian languages</a> their immigrant ancestors brought from Italy to American, primarily <a href="/wiki/Neapolitan_language" title="Neapolitan language">southern Italian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sicilian_language" title="Sicilian language">Sicilian dialects</a> of pre-unification Italy.<a href="#cite_note-210">[210]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Italian_USC2000_PHS.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Italian_USC2000_PHS.svg/310px-Italian_USC2000_PHS.svg.png" decoding="async" width="310" height="192" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Italian_USC2000_PHS.svg/465px-Italian_USC2000_PHS.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Italian_USC2000_PHS.svg/620px-Italian_USC2000_PHS.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="959" data-file-height="593" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Italian_language_in_the_United_States" title="Italian language in the United States">Italian language in the United States</a></figcaption></figure> Despite it being the fifth most studied language in higher education (college and graduate) settings throughout America,<a href="#cite_note-211">[211]</a> the Italian language has struggled to maintain being an <a href="/wiki/Advanced_Placement" title="Advanced Placement">AP course of study</a> in high schools nationwide.

Throughout the United States, wherever one may find an "Italian neighborhood" (often referred to as "Little Italy"), one can find festive celebrations such as the well-known <a href="/wiki/Feast_of_San_Gennaro" title="Feast of San Gennaro">Feast of San Gennaro</a> in New York City, the unique <a href="/wiki/Williamsburg,_Brooklyn#Feast_of_St._Paulinus_and_Our_Lady_of_Mount_Carmel" title="Williamsburg, Brooklyn">Our Lady of Mount Carmel "Giglio" Feast</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Williamsburg,_Brooklyn" title="Williamsburg, Brooklyn">Williamsburg</a> section of <a href="/wiki/Brooklyn" title="Brooklyn">Brooklyn</a>, New York, Italian feasts involve elaborate displays of devotion to Jesus Christ and <a href="/wiki/Patron_saint" title="Patron saint">patron saints</a>.

Perhaps the most widely known is <a href="/wiki/St._Joseph" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Joseph">St. Joseph</a>'s feast day on March 19. These feasts are much more than simply isolated events within the year. Feast (Festa in Italian) is an umbrella term for the various secular and religious, indoor and outdoor activities surrounding a religious holiday. Typically, Italian feasts consist of festive communal meals, religious services, games of chance and skill and elaborate outdoor processions consisting of statues resplendent in jewels and donations. The celebration usually takes place over the course of several days, and is communally prepared by a church community or a religious organization over the course of several months. Currently, there are more than 300 Italian feasts celebrated throughout the United States. Notable is Festa Italiana, held in <a href="/wiki/Milwaukee" title="Milwaukee">Milwaukee</a> every summer. These feasts are visited each year by millions of Americans from various backgrounds who come together to enjoy Italian music and food delicacies. In the past, as to this day, an important part of Italian American culture centers around music and cuisine. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="TV_and_press">TV and press</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Italian_Americans&action=edit&section=45" title="Edit section: TV and press">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Barack_Obama_and_Jay_Leno_during_a_taping_of_%22The_Tonight_Show%22.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Barack_Obama_and_Jay_Leno_during_a_taping_of_%22The_Tonight_Show%22.jpg/200px-Barack_Obama_and_Jay_Leno_during_a_taping_of_%22The_Tonight_Show%22.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="133" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Barack_Obama_and_Jay_Leno_during_a_taping_of_%22The_Tonight_Show%22.jpg/300px-Barack_Obama_and_Jay_Leno_during_a_taping_of_%22The_Tonight_Show%22.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Barack_Obama_and_Jay_Leno_during_a_taping_of_%22The_Tonight_Show%22.jpg/400px-Barack_Obama_and_Jay_Leno_during_a_taping_of_%22The_Tonight_Show%22.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4096" data-file-height="2730" /></a><figcaption>President Barack Obama participates in an interview with Jay Leno during a taping of "<a href="/wiki/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno" title="The Tonight Show with Jay Leno">The Tonight Show with Jay Leno</a>" at the NBC Studios in Burbank, Calif., Oct. 24, 2012.</figcaption></figure> Numerous American television personalities are of Italian descent.

He bought <a href="/wiki/Il_Progresso_Italo-Americano" title="Il Progresso Italo-Americano">Il Progresso Italo-Americano</a> in 1928 for $2 million; he doubled its circulation to 200,000 in New York City, making it the largest Italian-language paper in the country. He purchased additional papers in New York and <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a>, which became the chief source of political, social, and cultural information for the community. Pope encouraged his readers to learn English, become citizens, and vote; his goal was to instill pride and ambition to succeed in modern America. A conservative Democrat who ran the Columbus Day parade and admired Mussolini, Pope was the most powerful enemy of anti-Fascism among Italian Americans. Closely associated with <a href="/wiki/Tammany_Hall" title="Tammany Hall">Tammany Hall</a> politics in New York, Pope and his newspapers played a vital role in securing the Italian vote for <a href="/wiki/New_Deal_Coalition" class="mw-redirect" title="New Deal Coalition">Franklin D. Roosevelt's Democratic tickets</a>. He served as chairman of the Italian Division of the Democratic National Committee in 1936, and helped persuade the president to take a neutral attitude over <a href="/wiki/Second_Italo-Ethiopian_War" title="Second Italo-Ethiopian War">Italy's invasion of Ethiopia</a>. He broke with Mussolini in 1941 and enthusiastically supported the American war effort. In the late 1940s Pope supported the election of <a href="/wiki/William_O%27Dwyer" title="William O'Dwyer">William O'Dwyer</a> as mayor in 1945 and <a href="/wiki/Harry_S._Truman" title="Harry S.

In the early years of the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a>, Pope was a leading <a href="/wiki/Anti-Communist" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-Communist">anti-Communist</a> and orchestrated a letter-writing campaign by his subscribers to stop the Communists from winning the <a href="/wiki/Italian_elections_in_1948" class="mw-redirect" title="Italian elections in 1948">Italian elections in 1948</a>.<a href="#cite_note-218">[218]</a> Voters did not always vote the way editorials dictated, but they depended on the news coverage. At many smaller papers, support for Mussolini, short-sighted opportunism, deference to political patrons who were not members of the Italian-American communities, and the necessity of making a living through periodicals with a small circulation, generally weakened the owners of Italian-language newspapers when they tried to become political brokers of the Italian American vote.<a href="#cite_note-219">[219]</a> James V. Donnaruma purchased Boston's La Gazzetta del Massachusetts in 1905. La Gazzetta enjoyed a wide readership in Boston's Italian community because it emphasized detailed coverage of local ethnic events and explained how events in Europe affected the community. Donnaruma's editorial positions, however, were frequently at odds with the sentiments of his readership. Donnaruma's conservative views and desire for greater advertising revenue prompted him to court the favor of Boston's <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> elite, to whom he pledged editorial support in return for the purchase of advertising space for political campaigns. La Gazzetta consistently supported Republican candidates and policy positions, even when the party was proposing and passing laws to restrict Italian immigration. Nevertheless, voting records from the 1920s–1930s show that Boston's Italian Americans voted heavily for Democratic candidates.<a href="#cite_note-220">[220]</a><a href="#cite_note-221">[221]</a> <a href="/wiki/Carmelo_Zito" title="Carmelo Zito">Carmelo Zito</a> took over the <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco" title="San Francisco">San Francisco</a> newspaper Il Corriere del Popolo in 1935.

It vigorously attacked Italy's 1935 invasion of Ethiopia and its intervention in the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War" title="Spanish Civil War">Spanish Civil War</a>. Zito helped form the Italian-American Anti-Fascist League and often attacked certain Italian prominenti like Ettore Patrizi, publisher of L'Italia and La Voce del Popolo. Zito's paper campaigned against alleged Italian pro-Fascist language schools of San Francisco.<a href="#cite_note-222">[222]</a> In 1909, Vincenzo Giuliano, an immigrant from Calabria, Italy and his wife Maria Oliva founded La Tribune Italiana d'America, known today as The Italian Tribune, which circulates throughout southeastern Michigan. A second newspaper founded by a Catholic order of priests, La Voce del Popolo also served the Metro Detroit community until the 1920s, when that newspaper merged with La Tribuna Italiana d'America. Upon Giuliano's death in the 1960s, his family continued the paper. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Organizations">Organizations</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Italian_Americans&action=edit&section=47" title="Edit section: Organizations">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti"><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:431px;max-width:431px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:152px;max-width:152px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:Columbus_Citizens_Foundation.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Columbus_Citizens_Foundation.jpg/150px-Columbus_Citizens_Foundation.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="229" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Columbus_Citizens_Foundation.jpg/225px-Columbus_Citizens_Foundation.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Columbus_Citizens_Foundation.jpg/300px-Columbus_Citizens_Foundation.jpg 2x" data-file-width="630" data-file-height="960" /></a></div><div class="thumbcaption"><a href="/wiki/Columbus_Citizens_Foundation" title="Columbus Citizens Foundation">Columbus Citizens Foundation</a></div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:275px;max-width:275px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:Sons_of_Italy_2320_Dunwoodie_885_Midland_Av_jeh.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Sons_of_Italy_2320_Dunwoodie_885_Midland_Av_jeh.jpg/273px-Sons_of_Italy_2320_Dunwoodie_885_Midland_Av_jeh.jpg" decoding="async" width="273" height="228" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Sons_of_Italy_2320_Dunwoodie_885_Midland_Av_jeh.jpg/410px-Sons_of_Italy_2320_Dunwoodie_885_Midland_Av_jeh.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Sons_of_Italy_2320_Dunwoodie_885_Midland_Av_jeh.jpg/546px-Sons_of_Italy_2320_Dunwoodie_885_Midland_Av_jeh.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3600" data-file-height="3000" /></a></div><div class="thumbcaption">One of the 2,800 lodges of the <a href="/wiki/Order_Sons_of_Italy_in_America" title="Order Sons of Italy in America">Order Sons of Italy in America</a> (this in Yonkers, New York)<a href="#cite_note-223">[223]</a></div></div></div></div></div> Italian-American organizations include: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Alpha_Phi_Delta" title="Alpha Phi Delta">Alpha Phi Delta</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/American_Italian_Anti-Defamation_League" title="American Italian Anti-Defamation League">American Italian Anti-Defamation League</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Columbus_Citizens_Foundation" title="Columbus Citizens Foundation">Columbus Citizens Foundation</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Italian_American_Congressional_Delegation" title="Italian American Congressional Delegation">Italian American Congressional Delegation</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Italian_American_One_Voice_Coalition" title="Italian American One Voice Coalition">Italian American One Voice Coalition</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Italian-American_Civil_Rights_League" title="Italian-American Civil Rights League">Italian-American Civil Rights League</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Italian-American_National_Union" title="Italian-American National Union">Italian-American National Union</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Italy%E2%80%93USA_Foundation" title="Italy–USA Foundation">Italy–USA Foundation</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/National_Organization_of_Italian_American_Women" title="National Organization of Italian American Women">National Organization of Italian American Women</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Order_Sons_of_Italy_in_America" title="Order Sons of Italy in America">Order Sons of Italy in America</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Unico_National" title="Unico National">Unico National</a></li> <li>The Columbian Foundation</li> <li>American Relief for Italy, Inc (ARI)</li></ul> In 1944, the creation of the American Relief for Italy, Inc (ARI) functioned as an umbrella organization until 1946. The ARI collected, shipped, and distributed over $10 million of relief materials donated by other Italian organizations and individuals from all over Italy. Catholic charities, labor unions, cultural clubs, and fraternal organizations all responded in helping to raise money for the ARI. These relief materials were donated to Italians in need and helped to provide humanitarian assistance. All remaining donations were distributed to Italian soldiers at war. This organization was one of the first steps in the lengthy process of political and economic stabilizations in postwar Italy.<a href="#cite_note-Battisti-224">[224]</a> <ul><li>American Committee on Italian Migration (ACIM)</li></ul> Throughout the 1950s and the 1960s, the American Committee on Italian Migration (ACIM) was one of the largest, most active Italian American organizations in the United States. They gave assistance to Italian immigrants living in the United States threatened by political instability and provided recovery for those in need. Frequently, money and supplies were sent back home to those who were unable to migrate or were in the process of migrating to the United States. Most of these people were the women and children Italian men left behind in hopes of starting a new life in America. The ACIM grew rapidly with hundreds of thousands of members being both donors and beneficiaries.<a href="#cite_note-Battisti-224">[224]</a> <ul><li>National Catholic Welfare Conference (NCWC)</li></ul> The National Catholic Welfare Conference (NCWC) worked with ACIM on legislative campaigns and immigration projects. In 1951, members from NCWC, ACIM, as well as other Italian Americans joined in efforts to create an organization that specifically benefited and focused on assisting Italian immigrants. After a vast effort in 1953, the Refugee Relief Act (RRA) was passed allowing the entrance of over two hundred thousand Italian immigrants into the United States. The RRA provided these Italian immigrants with many opportunities to start their new life in America. Job opportunities, a place to live, and proper education for immigrants children were provided.<a href="#cite_note-Battisti-224">[224]</a> The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) <a href="#cite_note-225">[225]</a> – a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. – works to represent Italian Americans, spread knowledge of the Italian language, foster U.S./Italy relations and connect the greater Italian American community.

There was a social hierarchy within the various white American communities in which a different degrees of "whiteness" was associated with each group. Some European immigrants, such as Italians, were considered less white than the early European settlers and, therefore, were less accepted in American society. Italian stereotypes abounded as a means of justifying the maltreatment of the immigrants. The print media greatly contributed to the stereotyping of Italians with lurid accounts of secret societies and criminality. Between 1890 and 1920, Italian neighborhoods were often depicted as violent and controlled by criminal networks. Two highly publicized cases illustrate the impact of these negative stereotypes: <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sacvan.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Sacvan.jpg/200px-Sacvan.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="112" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Sacvan.jpg/300px-Sacvan.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Sacvan.jpg/400px-Sacvan.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1030" data-file-height="579" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Sacco_and_Vanzetti" title="Sacco and Vanzetti">Sacco and Vanzetti</a> in handcuffs</figcaption></figure> In 1891, <a href="/wiki/March_14,_1891_lynchings" class="mw-redirect" title="March 14, 1891 lynchings">eleven Italian immigrants</a> in <a href="/wiki/New_Orleans" title="New Orleans">New Orleans</a> were lynched due to their alleged role in the murder of the police chief <a href="/wiki/David_Hennessy" title="David Hennessy">David Hennessy</a>.

During the next few years, sporadic protests were held in major cities all around the world calling for their release, especially after Portuguese migrant Celestino Madeiros confessed to committing the crime absolving them of participation.

While other ethnic groups were also deeply involved in these illegal ventures, and the associated violence, Chicago mobster <a href="/wiki/Al_Capone" title="Al Capone">Al Capone</a> became the most notorious figure of the Prohibition era.

Howard Beach in the Queens is also home to a large Italian population.<a href="#cite_note-dailynews-2002-09-22-256">[256]</a> During the beginning of the Cold War, immigration into the United States from Italy was almost impossible. The American government did not want foreigners entering during an intense period of history, especially those immigrating to New York City. Americas were frightened that these immigrants could be terrorists, thus preventing Italians from gaining citizenship. As the Cold War continued, organization groups such as the Italian American Organization and the American Committee on Italian Migration (ACIM) started to form. They created vast efforts to provide assistance and aid to Italian immigrants coming into the United States. Throughout the Cold War, these organizations increased rapidly with many American Italian members as well as many new coming Italians. ACIM also took a leading role in directing the efforts of other Italian American and Catholic organizations that helped contribute to Italian immigration. These organizations provided new migrants with housing, clothing, access to job interviews, and education for children. Italians already living in America volunteered by making house visits to those immigrants who have just settled down in their new homes. These house visits made the intense and rigorous migration journey easier while allowing the Italian American community within New York City to grow. Immediately after the Cold War period, Italian Americans further consolidated and solidified their status as members of the American mainstream.<a href="#cite_note-257">[257]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Italian_Americans&action=edit&section=52" title="Edit section: Philadelphia">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/History_of_Italian_Americans_in_Philadelphia" title="History of Italian Americans in Philadelphia">History of Italian Americans in Philadelphia</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Phila-dibrunobros.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Phila-dibrunobros.jpg/200px-Phila-dibrunobros.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Phila-dibrunobros.jpg/300px-Phila-dibrunobros.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Phila-dibrunobros.jpg/400px-Phila-dibrunobros.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>Much of Philadelphia's Italian population is in <a href="/wiki/South_Philadelphia" title="South Philadelphia">South Philadelphia</a>, and is well known for its <a href="/wiki/Italian_Market,_Philadelphia" title="Italian Market, Philadelphia">Italian Market</a>.</figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a>'s Italian American community is the second-largest in the United States.

Tonti's child, born in 1703, was the first ethnic European child born in Detroit. Tonti became the commander of the Detroit fort after Cadillac left to return to France. In order to preserve the fur trade, the French administrators and the British administrators discouraged immigration, so the Italian population had slow growth. Growth in immigration increased after Detroit became a part of the United States and the <a href="/wiki/Erie_Canal" title="Erie Canal">Erie Canal</a> had been constructed. Armando Delicato, author of Italians in Detroit, wrote that Italian immigration to Detroit "lagged behind other cities in the East". In 1904 the City of Detroit had 900 Italians. In Metro Detroit there were several thousand ethnic Italians by 1900. The concentrations of the population lived in <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Market,_Detroit" title="Eastern Market, Detroit">Eastern Market</a> and east of the area presently known as <a href="/wiki/Greektown,_Detroit" title="Greektown, Detroit">Greektown</a>.

Some Italians stayed in Detroit temporarily before traveling onwards to mines in northern Michigan. The increase in the automobile industry resulted in the increase of the Italian population in the 20th century. By 1925, the number of Italians in the City of Detroit increased to 42,000. The historical center of Detroit's Italian-American community was in an area along Gratiot Avenue, east of <a href="/wiki/Downtown_Detroit" title="Downtown Detroit">Downtown Detroit</a>. During that period, Italian immigrants and their children lived throughout the City of Detroit, and several neighborhoods had concentrations of Italian immigrants. There were larger numbers of southern Italians than those from the north. Armando Delicato, author of Italians in Detroit, wrote that "Unlike many other American cities, no region of Italy was totally dominant in this area". Steve Babson, author of Working Detroit: The Making of a Union Town, wrote that "Many northern Italians, coming from an urban and industrialized society, had little in common with local Sicilians, who came from the rural and clannish south."

In Kansas City, these communities settled close to one another, often overlapping: the Sicilians taking root in what is now known as the River Market and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Columbus_Park_(Kansas_City)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Columbus Park (Kansas City) (page does not exist)">Columbus Park</a> neighborhoods, and the Calabrese mainly settling in the adjacent "Old Northeast" area. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="New_Orleans">New Orleans</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Italian_Americans&action=edit&section=63" title="Edit section: New Orleans">edit</a>]</div> Economics in Louisiana and Sicily combined to bring about what became known as the Great Migration of thousands of Sicilians. The end of the Civil War allowed the freed men the choice to stay or to go, many chose to leave for higher paying jobs, which in turn led to a perceived scarcity of labor resources for the planters. Northern Italy enjoyed the fruits of modern industrialization, while southern Italy and Sicily suffered destitute conditions under the system of absentee landowners. The peasant was still essentially the serf in the system. Emigration not only offered peasants a chance to move beyond subsistence living, it also offered them a chance to pursue their own dreams of proprietorship as farmers or other business owners. On March 17, 1866, the Louisiana Bureau of Immigration was formed and planters began to look to Sicily as a possible solution to their labor needs. Steamship companies advertisements were very effective in recruiting potential workers. Three steamships per month were running between New Orleans and Sicily by September 1881 at a cost of only forty dollars per person. In 1890 the ethnic Irish chief of police, <a href="/wiki/David_Hennessy" title="David Hennessy">David Hennessy</a> was assassinated.

They worked in the fishing and canning industries. Others were merchants, operating grocery stores, liquor stores, and tobacco shops. Biloxi's prosperous tourist industry in the early 20th century created opportunities for ambitious young (Italian) men ... Italians also settled in the Mississippi Delta. The first immigrants came there in the 1880s, working to repair levees and staying as hired farm laborers on plantations. Some of these families became peddlers selling goods to farmers. In 1895, the first Italians came to the <a href="/wiki/Sunnyside_Plantation" title="Sunnyside Plantation">Sunnyside Plantation</a>, across the Mississippi River in the Arkansas Delta.
