by Hope Siasoco 22 Mar '25

Dear Library Colleagues, Forgive the cross-posting. We invite you to an upcoming hybrid history presentation by renowned genealogist Katherine R. Willson, on the topic of: *The Link Between Anti-Immigration Sentiment, Prohibition, The Mafia, and the U.S. Border Patrol*. *When:* Wednesday, March 26, at 6:30pm - 7:30pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) *Where:* In Person at the Pinckney Library, 125 Putnam St., Pinckney, MI 48169 or via Zoom Online *Description:* Early 20th century America was a time of significant social and political change, with anti-immigration sentiment heavily influencing legislative actions. Anti-German sentiment from World War I played a significant role in the passage of Prohibition, leading to a rise in illegal smuggling of alcohol into the U.S. by large criminal syndicates. U.S. border agencies were then required to shift their focus from revenue collection to maintaining control at the borders. This 1-hour presentation (with accompanying handout) explores the links between anti-immigrant sentiment, prohibition, the mafia, and U.S. Border Patrol. A Q&A session will follow the presentation. The presentation is free, but registration is required to attend the program. Please indicate on the registration form if you plan to attend In Person or Online via Zoom, along with how many people will be in your group.
