Why 20,000 People Wanted Italian Immigrants Dead: Sicilian Lynchings

Hi friends, happy Thursday! Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Today, we are going to talk about a bloody day back in 1891 where 11 Italian people were lynched in New Orleans, how it almost started a war and created a Federal holiday we observe every year. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history. You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my Youtube for the visual side of things.
