About this listen

In part two of Bada Bing Bayou’s Italian American Heritage Month series, Patrick and Lawrence trace the complex history of Italian Americans from the 1891 New Orleans lynching—the largest mass lynching in U.S. history—to the challenges and contributions of World War II. They unpack how prejudice, perseverance, and patriotism shaped a community’s identity in America’s Deep South and beyond. It’s a raw and reflective conversation on resilience, belonging, and the journey from outsiders to proud Americans.
