Columbian Lawyers Association looks back at history of discrimination against Italian Americans
The Columbian Lawyer Association of Brooklyn took a look back at the history of discrimination against Italian-Americans as part of its continuing legal education seminar during its monthly meeting at the Rex Manor in Dyker Heights on Tuesday.
Attorneys Carmelo Grimaldi and Michael A. Scotto led the lecture titled, “Italians in America, Victims of Discrimination and Advocates for Inclusion and Diversity.” The lecture fulfilled the new diversity, inclusion and bias requirement for CLEs.
“Mel and Mike Scotto made a similar presentation for the Nassau Columbian Lawyers group, so we asked them to come to Brooklyn to speak on the subject,” said Joseph Rosato, president of the Columbian Lawyers of Brooklyn.
