Before 1880 less than 1,000 #Sicilians immigrated to America per year. But by 1906 over 100,000 #Sicilians left for the States in that year alone.
Although the United States grouped #Sicilians under the category of "#Italians," #Sicilians were reluctant to do so. The unification with Italy and Sicily was less than 100 years old, and the bitterness it had wrought ran deep among #Sicilians.
After World War II, the children and grandchildren of these immigrants were largely cognizant of the need for education. By this time, #Sicilians were acclimated to the extent that they no longer felt threatened or intimidated by American schools

As with #Italian Americans overall, #Sicilians proved they were "American" in the fullest sense of the word during World War II.
Thinking of the lifestyle of these 3 elderly gentlemen hanging out in Cefalú, Sicily. Their camaraderie is an important part of the Sicilian culture. Sicilians appreciate their lives, even though each day may be simple and yet difficult at times. #photography #streetphotography #Sicilians
The #Sicilians love for all things sweet has ancient roots and in antiquity honey on the island was prized for sweetening local produce 🍯🐝

Early #Sicilians brought their folk religion with them to the New World. The sheltered village enclaves allowed the #Sicilians to continue practicing their religion as they were accustomed to in Sicily.
