For decades, many Italian Americans were pushed out of white-collar careers by hiring discrimination and social barriers. Instead of waiting for opportunity, families built their own—starting construction companies, restaurants, and trade businesses that often stayed in the family for generations.

For generations, Italian Americans built railroads, factories, and neighborhoods across the United States. Yet Hollywood often reduced an entire culture to one stereotype—organized crime.
