Followers of Mussolini still exist in both Italy and the U.S., and some of them are Italian Americans. I am left to ask: Which path will Italian-American youth follow in the years ahead? We need a call to resurrect the legacies of those Italian-American labor leaders and politicians of the past--hardworking immigrants and their offspring who frequently clashed in the streets with the fascisti. Coming from one of the earth's most abused ethnic and class backgrounds, they were deeply entrenched in their own immigrant community, but also in the communities of other oppressed Americans. They understood that an affront to one group's rights was an unacceptable affront to all.
