Original Note:
One of the largest lynchings in U.S. history occurred in 1891 when angry New Orleans residents hung 11 Italian men "Dagoes". The act, coupled with tensions around the US, led to the creation of "Columbus Day". Italians have only recently been considered white. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Columbus-Day
