During World War II, the United States government interned and relocated thousands of Italian Americans, often confiscating their property. These actions, which affected many in our community, have been largely overlooked by history. Currently, there are two bills before Congress that would require the federal government to acknowledge these civil liberty violations, apologize for them, and fund educational programs studying the mistreatment of Italian Americans during that time.

The National Italian American Foundation supports both bills and asks for your help. We are approaching our goal of 2,500 signatures! Please join us in demanding an apology from Congress on behalf of the Italian Americans that came before us. For more information, click here: http://ow.ly/10nMIN
