Gigante, Louis - Description:
- Father Louis Gigante (brother of mobster Vincent "The Chin" Gigante) and José Torres speaking at an event honoring Evelina Antonetty.
- Notes:
- This event is likely the announcement of a proclamation on June 5, 1985 naming a park after Antonetty. Donato Antonetty later sued to remove Antonetty's name from the park on the grounds that it was an inadequate recognition of her service to the community, and that the small park was not relevant to her life and work.
