The Irish had established themselves in every aspect of American society by the 1920s and in 1960, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the great-grandson of a famine immigrant, was elected as the first Irish American President of the United States. By the 1860s, with the advent of the American Civil War, anti-Irish sentiment was replaced by a renewed hatred of African Americans. Landing on the shores of New England, the Puritan settlers established colonies in Massachusetts and would go on to dominate American politics for centuries to come. As a result, anti-Catholic sentiments within the Puritans reigned supreme, often resulting in violence against the Irish Catholic immigrants. The procession in New York City expanded in parallel with the rise of Irish nationalism as Irish aid organisations like the Hibernian Society and Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick participated in the parades. After the Pope refused to dissolve his marriage in 1534, King Henry VIII spearheaded the Protestant revolution in England by rejecting the Pope’s authority and establishing the Church of England. Many unskilled labourers feared that Irish immigrants who were willing to work for less than the existing wage would drive them out of their jobs. More than half of Irish people depended on the potato as their primary food source. However, the first large-scale celebration occurred in 1737 when The Charitable Irish Society of Boston organised the first observance of Saint Patrick’s Day in the Thirteen Colonies. The inaugural Saint Patrick’s Day celebration in New York was comparable to that in Boston. “Due to their wealth, their status, and their accommodating attitude towards the Anglo-Saxon Protestant elements of the American elite, the members of this mixed community were able to assimilate into Anglo-American society without extreme difficulty,” he adds.

Irish American pride is at the heart of the parade tradition — and immigration is a deeply rooted part of that history. Sympathy for the Irish once opened up meaningful access to others around the world to come to the United States. That the Irish didn’t seem alien — that they were White and English speaking — played a role in this connection. All they wanted, the Irish prime minister Enda Kenny said in a St. And a decade later in 2017, newspapers reported on a community of some 50,000 undocumented Irish immigrants, Such an argument served their purposes, of course, because issuing more visas to the Irish would help create immigrant “diversity” at the time. This tradition predates the founding of the United States and its longevity speaks to the rootedness and prominence of the country’s Irish American population. They lobbied policymakers in Washington and raised money and awareness through dances in Irish immigrant and Irish American communities. Deeply-rooted Irish American communities in cities like Boston and New York welcomed these new migrants who “look[ed] as American as any Bostonian,” as the Boston Globe put it in 1987. As the Irish Voice put it, “it didn’t seem right that the Irish, who had done so much to transform America into the great nation it is today, were suffering so badly in the green card stakes.” They marched in parades under banners exhorting Congress to “legalize the Irish.” They spoke out bravely about what being undocumented meant for their lives — the sense of uncertainly and instability it fostered. As more Jews, Italians and Eastern Europeans arrived at the turn of the century, policymakers began to write racial and ethnic discrimination into the immigration laws to ensure white dominance.

Nat "King" Cole of jukebox fame and singer Maria Hawkins Ellington are married in the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York, in Harlem, March 28, 1948.

But he didn’t need a weekly TV show to become one of the best-selling singers of his time. The first song, "With Plenty Of Money And You" (1938) is just an excuse for the trio to flex its combined musical muscle. Cole’s comment on the cancellation was, “Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark.” For a sample of his music, we’re going to go way back to the early days of the original trio. Cole began his recording career as a vocalist with "Sweet Lorraine" in 1940. In fact, Cole was so good, none other than Oscar Peterson would cite him as a major influence on his own nonpareil playing. Patrick’s Day on March 17th because that’s supposedly the day he died, but I take that fact with a grain of salt. Before that, though, he was known in the jazz world as the leader of the King Cole Trio—with guitarist Oscar Brown and bassist Wesley Prince. By Dick’s account there was simply never a sweeter, more gifted human on the planet than his friend, Nathaniel. The doors first opened to a whopping 88 students in 1890. Earlier this century, I became friends with a warm, delightful, humorous man named Dick LaPalm, a record industry lifer who worked with Nat King Cole throughout Nat’s career and loved him unreservedly. That might not be news to you but it certainly was to me.
