Eight years ago, the Woke community unleashed a hailstorm of malicious and hurtful attacks on statues, holidays, Italian Americans and Christopher Columbus that rivaled the marches of the Ku Klux Klan against our community a century ago. The Columbus Heritage Coalition emerged in response to those shameful acts. As a united alliance of Italian American organizations, the Coalition set out to drop the hate of the Woke community and seek the truth..

The Italian American community stepped up. The tide is turning.

I was honored to present this record of achievement—and an exciting peek of the 2024 National Columbus Day Parade marching on October 14 up Fifth Avenue in New York City — on the Joe Piscopo Show. Listen here and learn how our energized community is working to build stronger coalitions and defend our rights in this great country.
