Thank you for the information. This series does not discredit any contributions of African-Americans. Rather it includes collaboration between Italian-Americans and African-Americans in music in New Orleans from Blues to Jass to Swing to Rock n Roll.

@@AweNews "The Harlem Renaissance was the development of the Harlem neighborhood in New York City as a Black cultural mecca in the early 20th Century and the subsequent social and artistic explosion that resulted. Lasting roughly from the 1910s through the mid-1930s, the period is considered a golden age in African American culture, manifesting in literature, music, stage performance and art." Great Migration "The northern Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem was meant to be an upper-class white neighborhood in the 1880s, but rapid overdevelopment led to empty buildings and desperate landlords seeking to fill them. In the early 1900s, a few middle-class Black families from another neighborhood known as Black Bohemia moved to Harlem, and other Black families followed. Some white residents initially fought to keep African Americans out of the area, but failing that many whites eventually fled." (Source: HISTORY, Harlem Renaissance - Definition, Artists & How It Started) That African scale system is the fundamental root of blues music. Nketia also explains the various melodies, rhythms, scale patterns, and notations of indigenous African music. In the chapter on vocal melodies in The Music of Africa, Nketia shows the pentatonic system, which includes a flatted fifth, in an African vocal melody: C-D-E-G-B♭ [pg. 150]. Nketia explains: “…instead of a major sixth, a minor seventh is used. That is, instead of C-D-E-G-A, we have C-D-E-G-B♭… this gives a distinctive character to the music. An important feature of melodic organization associated with pentatonic structures is that of transposition, whereby the melody is shifted from one position of a trichord to another. The shift may be a whole step, or as much as two or three steps, up or down. That is, there could be a shift from a G-A-B or E-G-A-B sequence to an F-G-A or D-F-G-A sequence within the same song, or from A-G-F to D’-C-B♭ in the same song” [pg. 150]. African-American musician and musicologist Samuel Floyd, Jr. also explained that the pentatonic scale enslaved Africans were playing was from Africa. In his book The Power of Black Music, Floyd writes: “Whatever their African source, early blues melodies were based on a pentatonic arrangement that included blue notes - or the potential for blue notes - on the third and fifth degrees of its scale. As the same neutral intervals are found in the music of some African societies, the blues intonation was not new to African Americans; it was new and strange only to those who were not in tune with the culture. Early blues was as free as the other African-American genres, only later becoming tamed and forced into the eight-, twelve-, and sixteen-bar frameworks that became somewhat common” [pg. 76;]. [“Across the West African savanna you often find a characteristic pentatonic system. We discovered that it is generated from the use of harmonics up to the 9th, sometimes the 10th partial. That is this kind of the scale, from top to bottom: D C Bb G E C It is a so-called natural scale. It is slightly different from the notes found on European instruments with their tuning temperament. If you can construct the natural harmonic series over a fundamental you call see, the 5th partial will be a somewhat flat major third which we call E-386, and the 7th partial is indeed flat by 31 cents, we call it B-flat-969. It’s not nuclear physics, of course. Now B-flat-969 is the higher blue note. Next, if you transpose this West African savanna scale from the level of C to the level of F, the fifth down, or a fourth up (it doesn’t matter), you get this scale: G F Eb C A F Once again with two slightly flat intervals as compared with the notes of the Western tempered total system. And now comes the trick. If you integrate these two pentatonic columns, the basic form and the transposition, you get the common blues tonal scale, showing an interference pattern between the pitches of E-386 over C and E-flat-969 over F. That explains the fluctuating quality of the lower blue note. [...] The African pentatonic system, with its natural blue notes, is not the only African music tradition brought to the United States by enslaved Africans. As mentioned earlier, enslaved Africans brought their string instruments, such as the banjo, with them from Africa to North America. Writer and recording artist Ken Hymes explains, “These were “monophonic” instruments, on which only one note was played at a time. The melodies were mostly pentatonic, based on a five note scale (play the black keys on a piano and you’re playing a version of that scale).” It was through these string instruments that the African pentatonic system was preserved in the United States on plantations during slavery. “The so-called ‘Spanish tinge’ with its ‘additive’ rhythms, characteristic of New Orleans, testifies to the proximity of the Caribbean. It is much less ‘Spanish’ than it is a conglomerate of Guinea Coast and west Central African rhythm patterns retained in the Spanish-speaking areas of the Caribbean. Influences upon the Deep South from Louisiana, whose musical cultures were much closer to those of the Caribbean in the nineteenth century and had a large share of Congo/Angola and Guinea Coast west African elements, can also be felt in some idiosyncrasies within the blues tradition of the twentieth century” [pgs. 100-101]. Congo Square is crucial to understanding this. Again, while drumming was banned in North America, Congo Square in New Orleans was a place where enslaved Africans were able to play their traditional African music. (Source: Adam Hudson)

To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace. Please add the History what is missing of the US Army Air Force Officers of American Chinese descent who were in theater with Maj Gen. Claire Lee Chennault?
My father was one of the survivors of the Andrea Doria. He would have loved to tell you about his experience. RIP Dad
I’m Italian, and it’s the first I’ve heard of de Pinedo. I also never knew about Little Palermo in New Orleans. Coming from Boston, there are plenty of Italians in the Northeast. Love to learn about Italian culture in America and their contributions. Thank you for the video and continue your important work.
Thank you.
My Grandfather (Capt. Chack Wing Chan aka pronounced Chin in Northern China), who was born in 1910 in Oroville in California and was a Chinese BORN American and the 126 Direct Descendant to the First Emperor of China "Chin Huang Di". He was an Engineer and was a US Army Captain who served under General Claire Lee Chenault in the FLYING TIGERTS AVG and helped to run the Silk Quan Air Squadron repair Center. Rag Tag ALTHOUGH IT WAS failure was NOT an OPTION! My Family came to the USA not as Beggars but with money and did not work the Railroad Tracks. We ran a Gambling Casino and other Houses of Repute in Oroville in the 1870's to about 1910. My Family was Expelled by the Islamic Qing Dynasty because killing us would have turned even the Qing Advisers against the Qing Empress...so she EXPELLED my family to America in 1861! NEVER to return we still wait for the CCP to weaken and take it back! There are only 7 full Chinese IMPERIAL Families left. It is difficult knowing that I can NEVER return home as I wear the Golden Imperial Dragon (Long) that is forbidden to be worn in Communist China today. The Communist Symbol is the Panda Bear. The Imperial Chinese Symbol is the Yellow Golden Dragon who Commands for the Emperors between Heaven and Earth the 4 other Regional Dragons. The RED DRAGON of the South is in fact a GOD and his name is "Chi Long". Guardian of the South and of Summer. There are a total of 5 Regional Dragons and One Celestial Dragon and are considered Gods. Today the Gold/Yellow Dragon is Forbidden in China to wear and the Panda is the Communist Chinese Symbol where as the Dragon of Gold and Yellow is the Imperial Dragon and at one time under penalty of Death not allowed to be seen or worn by anyone not related to the line of Succession or Ascension to the Imperial Throne between Heaven and Earth. My Family currently are the 128 DIRECT DESCENDANTS to Chin Huang Di and have the Proof to retake the Throne, but not the means. One Day … the Chinese People will be Free from the CCP and the West and the Crown restored. It will not be today. The other Dragons are listed: Huang Long Golden Yellow and protector of the Dragon Emperors of Ancient China; Qin Long Azure Guardian of the East and Spring and is the Mascot of Kyoto Japan and he wear horns of the roots of a Tree. Japan still celebrates Chinese New Year and it is called the Spring Festival or Lantern Festival in Northern Japan, but in Middle and Okinawa it is STILL Chinese New Year. Chi Long is (as mentioned before) is the Red Dragon and Guardian of the South and of Summer, Bai Long is the White Dragon who is the Western Guardian of Autumn the END of Summer; and not last but least Hei Long the Black Dragon of the North and Guardian of Winter. There are 9 Celestial other Dragons other than the Regional Earth Dragons Commanded from Kunlun and Mount Penglai also known by the Japanese as Mount Horai. "Hōrai is also called Shinkiro, which signifies Mirage-the Vision of the Intangible". The Japanese and Chinese Mythos more than overlap and are nearly the SAME. My point? Why are Officers who are Chinese Americans left out of the Story of the FLYING TIGERS? I am sure the Americans could not speak the Languages of both Mandarin and Cantonese which raises the question how they got the Flying Tigers to Integrate without a TRANSLATOR? I can only say this: "To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace." By the way Qin Long Guards Kyoto! Also, the Japanese speak in a mix of Mandarin, Fukienese, and Cantonese using Yayoi Phonetics and write in Kanji aka Hanji aka Hanja (Korean) or HAN CHNIESE CHARACTERS and Okinawa was annex from Ancient China as Chinese Protectorate in 1897 by Japan? I am half Japanese so EVERYTHING Japanese IS ANCIENT CHINESE! This is what is taught in the Homes of most Japanese who wish to know the TRUTH. To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace. Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not! It is clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are seeking, we must consider the following point: of what kind of principles and of what kind of causes is wisdom the knowledge? The artistic genius desires to give pleasure, but if his mind is on a very high plane he does not easily find anyone to share his pleasure; he offers entertainment but nobody accepts it. That gives him, in certain circumstances, a comically touching pathos; for he has no right to force pleasure on men. He pipes, but none will dance: can that be tragic? The complete irresponsibility of man for his actions and his nature is the bitterest drop which he who understands must swallow. Truthfulness. He will never willingly tolerate an untruth, but will hate it as much as he loves truth .. And is there anything more closely connected with wisdom than truth? The path that leads to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lXeMmsWog9y8nrw.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4OLwcSvpsKvkbw.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIeguqihmrSwd5M.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6iFmJmspNq_n7w.html
Apologizing for this is just now is just dumb
Speaking as one of the tribe, I agree
Born (in Italy) to a 19 year old Italian beauty from northern Italy and a handsome American Air Force enlistee from Mississippi, my Dad brought us to America by ship when I was less than a month old. Blessed to know my Italian family and visit Italy a handful of times before my Nonnis' and Zio's passing ( I still have my Zia, two cousins and their families there) I fell in love with Italy and my Italian heritage from the very first time we visited when I was eight (8) years old. Italy remains FOREVER in my heart and mind❣🇮🇹 At almost sixty-six years of age I continue to pursue learning the language in hopes of one day speaking fluently. Until then, I LOVE speaking enough to make myself (fairly) understood and listening closely to native speakers, understanding a moderate amount of what is being said! ITALIA, sempre nel cuore mio❣💖
That's truly amazing & courageous ❤💛💚 I hope also that especially we, people of Italian & Sicilian descent can take the same energy for justice, step up & recognize the need to end any and all praise for Columbus, & condemn his actions because of the atrocities, & horrible crimes against humanity he committed and helped instigate. Columbus was not an Italian (it wasn't even a country yet) & acted on behalf of the queen of Spain as a hired pirate to steal gold & take people as slaves (which he clearly documented in his own diaries). We should recognize that & make it right. The majority of Italian & Sicilian immigrants moved to Latin America & have since blended in mostly, not only in the Americas but throughout the world. We all need to step up & do what's right. We are one human famiglia & we especially as descendents of Sicily, one the most attacked & conquered by outsiders, should have the maturity & honesty to call a bum a bum. Ya Basta! Let's help usher in a new era of international solidarity & recognize our truly mixed & beautiful human heritage. My great grandmother was an orphan in Sicily & I would not be alive without her courage to overcome the odds stacked against her. I hope to have the same courage.
I have read 10 books on Columbus and right now have 90% determined that he was an Explorer and not a Conquistador. His personal mission was to reach the Great Kahn of China and ask for help to take back Jerusalem and return it to Christian Control. Columbus was 2 when the Constantinople fell to the Muslim Ottoman Turks and the trade route the people of Genoa to China used was shut off. During the 12 years from when he first left Spain in 1492 to the end of his fourth voyage in 1504 others were put in charge as governors of the Carribean. Columbus was only in charge about 18 months, and during that time he put in charge others so that he could keep exploring and looking for the strait that would allow him to reach China and the Great Kahn. Unfortunately, for several hundred years, Spanish Christians had been fighting to reclaim their land, and completed that mission in 1492. The Spanish Crown sent over several former military officers, who did the actions you refer to. Plus we should think of the Knights of Columbus. From the 1890s to the 1930s the KKK was anti-Italian. The Knights of Columbus helped shut down the Second Coming of the KKK. The Knights went on do great philanthropy in America plus contribute to America's success in WWI. We do not see America wanting to rename the Columbia River, Columbia University, or the Spaceship Columbia, Why just get rid of Italian Heritage Day? The Goddess Columbia represented America for decades as the ideals and dreams of forming America. Columbus Day is a day to appreciate that inspiration of what Columbia stands for.

Wonderful traditions
As someone of Italian/Sicilian heritage, I'd've presumed that you'd know how to pronounce Mr. LaRocca's name. Come si pronouncia, "bocca?" How do you pronounce: 'bocca?' Do you also say, "bokka?" No? So, why then, slaughter the man's name?
Thank you. When I was in High School, a Jesuit Priest was a great teacher of government. His name was Father Roca. He was nicknamed "The Rock." .... I think I became so used to seeing "Roca" and "Rock" that I made a mistake. I will address in the future.

I'm descended from New Orleans Italians (Sicilians). My great-great-grandfather, a fruit vendor in the late 1880's, early 1890's took a horrible beating in the aftermath of the lynching of 12 Sicilians following the death of the Irish police chief at the hands of Italians (Allegedly). He died from his wounds. My GG grandmother then moved up the river to Memphis and told everyone she was from Florence due to the racism against Sicilians. People think all the Italians are in the NE and Chicago. They're not! Thanks for bringing attention to this portion of the diaspora!
This place is trash don’t get Fooled .. This is a tourist trap.
Interesting history!
👏🏼👏🏼
I read 'The Shadows of Nazareth' during the COVID thing. It was very enlightening. I am a native New Orleanian and know of some items related in the admittedly fictional novel. I hope that Sal writes some more books about the subject, considering the rapidly devolving law enforcement atmosphere in the city. I rarely go into town myself, because it is just so shabby and depressing. They have discovered a way to make sin uninteresting.

"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery -- the greatest material interest of the world." -- Mississippi Articles of Secession Destroying slavery wasn't a declared objective of the North, although Lincoln was clear about his desire that it be destroyed...but this is the South's declaration that protecting it was for them...
Some lines from Lincoln's Inauguration: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so..... " The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the Government and to collect the duties and imposts; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion, no using of force against or among the people anywhere.".... Lincoln was clear in his inauguration that he had no power to destroy slavery. .... He had power to collect taxes and tariffs and the South had quit paying their taxes and tariffs.... In 1830 Andrew Jackson passed the Force Act to collect Tariffs at sea near Fort Sumter, when South Carolina refused to collect them. That was solved without war. This time it wasn't.... Clearly there was a movement in the Christian world to eliminate slavery. In 1828, Pope Gregory spoke against slavery. ... In 1861, there were those in the north and in the south that had yet to speak against slavery. However, there were those in the north and south that did speak against slavery. Today 40,000,000 people worldwide are still in slavery..... In 1830 a movement was led by Richard Lee (Robert's Uncle) in Virginia to abolish slavery by a vote and it almost passed. Many in the South, were following the example of George Washington and freeing slaves by manumission in their wills and leaving the estates to help the freed slaves transition. One was John McDonough of New Orleans.

My great grandparents came over
Love the history- - my heritage is quite similar, my great grandfather arrived in NO in 1890 from Sicily. I think he headed up to Woodside north of Lafayette- because 2 years later my grandfather was born there. They eventually ended up in Independence and their crop was strawberries. My grandfather was the first son of Italian immigrants to graduate from high school. He went on to medical school, at Tulane & U. Tennessee. Had a practice in Hammond until WWI broke out. He was an army doctor stationed In Douglas Arizona. There he met a nurse…. they got married & lived the rest of their life in that part of Arizona.
