Prejudice And Pride - Paperback

by Anthony M. Giacobbe (Author)

Prejudice and Pride is a powerful, generational story of faith, family, and quiet resilience in the face of injustice.

In 1920, Pasquale and Maria DiFrancesco leave Italy with little more than hope and determination, chasing the promise of a better life in America. What they encounter instead is hardship, poverty, and a society quick to judge by name, accent, and heritage. Yet through tireless work, deep faith, and unwavering moral conviction, they begin to build not only a home-but a legacy.

As their children grow, each must confront a world shaped by prejudice and unequal opportunity. From classrooms and church halls to war, professional ambition, and personal sacrifice, their lives unfold through moments of courage, heartbreak, and grace. Along the way, they learn that integrity is not granted-it is earned through action, compassion, and standing up for what is right, even when it comes at a cost.

Inspired by real experiences, Prejudice and Pride honors the immigrant families who endured discrimination yet refused to surrender their dignity. It is a tribute to those who believed that character matters, kindness endures, and where you come from does not have to define where you are going.
