My dad shares his Italian-American family story

My favorite books: https://www.amazon.com/shop/nytn?ref_... #ancestry #findingyourroots #immigrants #americanhistory #italians #genealogy #italy #mafia For the first time ever, I sit down to interview my dad about his family's Italian-American heritage. My dad candidly shares his personal experiences, including painful moments during the process of becoming "seen" as an American. I ask him about the mafia, why we didn't learn to speak Italian, his reaction to the phrase "White privilege" and his thoughts on the court cases I've been discussing on the channel (he's an attorney!) and why he loves America. Come sit down with us and hang out:) ⚪Support more storytelling and get behind the scenes videos:   / about   🟢Watch the docu-series "Finding Lola" :    • MY family story of "White Passing"   ⚪Want to connect?   / findinglolafilm   🟢Want to know more? www.findinglolafilm.com Grab your own Ancestry DNA test now*! : https://amzn.to/3UxGKJx -------- Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home. My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana. Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born. Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we? *Amazon links are affiliate links.
