Title: There Are Four of Us Sitting Right Here: The Hidden Minority
Description: On January 23, 2025, Christina Delzingaro shared a deeply personal and scholarly exploration of Romani identity, migration, and marginalization. Her talk traced Roma roots in India, their global diaspora, and centuries of persecution—including enslavement and genocide. Delzingaro highlighted cultural resilience, misconceptions, and her own family’s experience, urging recognition of Roma as a historically silenced but enduring ethnic group within American and global society.
