Italians of the North End: A History of Grit, Perseverance & Tradition by Patricia Annino

Italians of the North End reveals the resilient journey from one of America’s poorest slums to a place of opportunity. Once home to hardworking immigrant families from Italy, it was also the neighborhood of Sacco and Vanzetti, Charles Ponzi, and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. “La via vecchia” (the old way) is woven through its narrow, winding streets, brick buildings, restaurants and pastry shops. Today, neighbors and tourists alike meet for coffee and cannolis, unaware of the neighborhood’s complex history.

Edelman

2024 Edelman Trust Barometer

The 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a new paradox at the heart of society. Rapid innovation offers the promise of a new era of prosperity, but instead risks exacerbating trust issues, leading to further societal instability and political polarization.

While people agree that scientists are essential to the acceptance of innovation, many are concerned that politics has too much influence on science. This perception is contributing to the decline of trust in the institutions responsible for steering us through change and towards a more prosperous future.

Edelman is a global communications firm that partners with businesses and organizations to evolve, promote, and protect their brands and reputations. Edelman has have remained an independent, family-run business since its founding in 1952. Across more than 60 offices worldwide, they deliver communications strategies that give clients the confidence to lead and act with certainty, earning the trust of their stakeholders.
