Join us (13028 First Ave. S., Burien WA) for a special guest speaker event at Casa on Monday, June 12, at 6:30pm with Dr. Kathleen Brush. America was created from groups of unwelcome immigrants persecuted in Europe. Italians were the last group of America’s European immigrants.

Padrone and the arrival of millions of Italian immigrants, Italian-Americans disproportionately served in high numbers in WWI and WWII. 600,000 West Coast Italians curfewed in WWII. Dr. Brush has a Ph.D. in Management and International Studies. She has been researching, writing, and speaking on immigration, diversity and discrimination in the US and the world for over 15 years.
