When eight year old, Lou Del Bianco finds out that his Grandpa Luigi was the Chief Carver on Mount Rushmore, his young life is instantly changed. Follow Lou’s journey as he and his Uncle Caesar make the painful discovery that Luigi is not even mentioned in the most definitive book on Rushmore. Cheer them on as you read the historic documents they unearth from the Library of Congress that not only tell Luigi’s story but also prove his great importance. Finally, ride the roller-coaster of the 25 year journey to get Luigi the recognition he deserves.
"Out of Rushmore’s Shadow" is the dramatic and touching story of Luigi’s legacy and the immigrant’s struggle.
The author will also show photographs of his grandfather's Luigi’s immigrant journey, him working on the different faces, the actual carving of Mount Rushmore, as well as personal family photos, and will reenact part of his grandfather's life during the program.
