It’s Italian Heritage Month. There is no better time to hold an event honoring Italian heritage in our region. It’s precisely why we formed the Italian American Heritage Society of Long Island – (ITALI). The more we unite as a heritage group, the more we can honor the past and inspire the future. 

None of this is groundbreaking or innovative. I care about my blood, my family, and the journey of our ancestors. We are living proof that their struggle to come to America is worth it as we live their American dream. I am merely taking the baton and keeping it safe for this generation before we hand it off, and I hope that our family and friends of shared heritage can feel as proud and vocal.
