Queens College (CUNY) celebrates forty years of its Italian American Studies program on Wednesday, March 26, 12:15 p.m. in the President's Conference Room 2 at the Rosenthal Library, Queens College.
In 1974, Professor Richard Gambino, author of Blood of My Blood: The Dilemma of the Italian-Americans, offered the first known course in the study of Italian American culture. Since then, the field has grown into a rich area of studies in the social sciences and Humanities.
