A
Legacy of Achievement is
the story of the Italians who settled
in New Jersey and became successful
members of American society. It is
a story of energy, strong convictions
and impressive hardiness; of struggle
and success in the New World; of
devotion to religion, family and
the rule of law. It is a story of
epic qualities, based on a solid
work ethic and a powerful sense of
justice. It is a story shared by
the many who immigrated to this country – because
of hunger, ambition, adventure or
opportunity. It is a story of the
Italian-American experience in New
Jersey. A
Legacy of Achievement is a special half-hour
documentary produced in high-definition television
by NJN's Emmy award-winning production team
of Lou Presti, co-producer; Bob Szuter, screenwriter;

is the narrator; the original music was created
by Robert Sands. The co-producer from The
New Jersey Italian American Heritage Foundation
is Robert A. Freda, Ed.D. A Legacy of Achievement
is web streamed and archived on the NJN web
site at njn.net. The documentary can be seen
on cable stations throughout New Jersey,
on NJN’s JerseyVision and on Time Warner
Cable on channel 750 in New York. Funding
