An Immigrant's Journey (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Follow the journey of a young man who emigrated from Sicily to the United States in the late 1890s in honor of Immigrant Heritage Month.

St. Charles resident Vito Graziano will trace the path of a young man who emigrated from Sicily to the United States in the late 1890s. Through personal stories and historical context, he will explore the many challenges faced by immigrants during that era – including the arduous journey across the ocean, language barriers, cultural differences, unfamiliar climates, and navigating new laws. The presentation offers a window into the immigrant experience and the resilience of those who sought a better life in a new land in honor of Immigrant Heritage Month.
