Fundraising bricks for Sicilian Monument

Honoring our Ancestors

Monument to the Sicilian harvester

To honor the thousands of Italian/Sicilian immigrants who came to the South (specifically in Louisiana) and worked on plantations as farmers, we are teaming with the American Italian Federation of the South East to raise money for a monument to those immigrants. This monument will be placed at Houma's House. Fundraising bricks may be purchased, which will surround the monument once completed.
