    Italian-American Heritage Month is celebrated every year to honor and recognize the centuries of achievements, successes, and valuable contributions of Italian immigrants and Italian Americans! This year, our employees and neighbors came together to learn about the history of Italian Americans and grab a couple cannolis and a coffee. We were joined by Dr. Giusi Russo, Associate Professor of History at Montgomery County Community College, for a discussion about how early Italian migrants faced a myriad of struggles while contributing to building American cities and making the economy work. She also explored how Italian Americans bonded with marginalized groups to contribute to the creation of the incredibly rich, varied, and unique mosaic that is American culture. Thanks to all the attendees who spent time reflecting on how Italian Americans weaved themselves into America’s social and cultural fabric.
