In the Spirit of Thanksgiving, this past weekend marked 50 years since my immigration to America. November 28th 1970-November 28th 2020. They say a photo can tell a story. I want to share this photo with you because it tells a very important story, an immigration story.
Here in America, regardless of who you are or where you are from, we are all immigrants and I hope this picture will bring back memories of your own immigrant roots. It was taken in Torretta, Sicily in 1960. I am Giovanni, the little boy on the bike. To my left is my sister Maria and to my right is my sister Ninetta holding my little brother Calogero.
