American Italian Anti-Defamation League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Italian Anti-Defamation League was a political advocacy group formed by a group of Italians from New York City in 1967.[1] They held a concert in New York City where Frank Sinatra, the national chairman, played for an audience of 20,000.[2]

They were sued by the Anti-Defamation League for appropriating their name and eventually dissolved.[3]
