Trey’s Table Episode 436: When Italians Were Blacks
Saturday, 25 April, 2026

Did you know that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Italian immigrants were often legally and socially marginalized in ways that mirror the Black experience in America? 🇮🇹🇺🇸 From restrictive housing covenants to "No Italians Need Apply" job postings, the path to becoming "American" was paved with systemic barriers. On today’s episode, we explore: • The roots of anti-Italian sentiment. • The parallels between different marginalized groups in the U.S. • How these historical exclusions shaped the landscape of our cities today. Listen to the full conversation on all major platforms. Link in bio! 🎧 #TreysTable #UntoldHistory #ItalianAmericanHistory #SocialJustice #PodcastLife #HistoryMatters
