For those of you who are unaware of how Italians were treated when we first came to this country: Read this story below ------> 50 Lynchings of Italians.
There was NO help given to Italians by city,state,fed agencies.
Assistance was provided by the neighborhood or community it was a disgrace and embarrasment to be a man and not be able to support your family, or to be on food stamps/welfare many who may have needed did not get because of the stigma
