“Italian American Traditions, Quirks, and Superstitions,” with author Mark Hehl, will take place at the Morris Public Library, 4 North St., on Thursday, June 4, 6:30 p.m. North America is a bastion of immigrants. Except for those of Native American ancestry, we all can trace our heritage back to somewhere else, whether our ancestors came on the Mayflower or a slave ship, into Ellis Island, JFK Airport or across the Rio Grande.
Our immigrant ancestors blessed this continent with varied cuisines, customs, and traditions, while bringing their strong family values. Each culture has its set of quirks and superstitions, some are shared among other cultures and others are unique.
