Lakkosian - Serenusi Civil Rights League

LSCRL Badge

## Summary

The Lakkosian-Serenusi Civil Rights League is a local organization originally formed as a political advocacy group created in Little Serenus in April 1970 (10 BF). Giulio Trevisani, a defense attorney that represented many DiFornaio crime family figures, was responsible for the legal work that incorporated the league. Its stated goal was to combat pejorative stereotypes about Lakkosian-Serenusi, but in actuality, it operated as a public relations firm to deny the existence of the Serenusi Mafia and improve the image of mobsters. The League also worked on improving relations with locals and the church, often times becoming entwined with involved communities. After Giulio Trevisani's disappearance in 1981 (1 AF), Les Hitaliano has served as chairman of the League. The League's membership is open to any Lakkosian citizen or immigrant of Serenusi descent.

## Founding

On June 29, 1970 (10 BF), Giulio Trevisani officially established the Lakkosian-Serenusi Civil Rights League during a well-publicized rally at the Statue of Halalos in Oldtown. The event drew thousands of Lakkosian-Serenusi and garnered significant media attention. The LSCRL's primary objectives were twofold. First, it sought to combat the negative stereotypes perpetuated by the media, emphasizing that Lakkosian-Serenusi were unfairly portrayed as having links to organized crime. Second, the league aimed to advocate for the civil rights of Lakkosian-Serenusi and address issues of discrimination in various facets of Lakkosian life. To raise awareness about these issues, the LSCRL organized numerous protests, rallies, and public events. One of the most notable was the Lakkosian-Serenusi Unity Day rally in 1975 (5 BF), which attracted tens of thousands of participants and became a platform for the league's message.

The league engaged in legal and political efforts to advance the aforementioned cause. It lobbied for fair representation of Lakkosian-Serenusi in the media and sought to challenge derogatory portrayals. Additionally, the LSCRL advocated for equal treatment in employment and law enforcement. Giulio Trevisani's leadership of the LSCRL was not without controversy. His alleged ties to organized crime and his outspoken advocacy drew attention from law enforcement agencies and the media, leading to increased scrutiny of his activities.

## Giulio Trevisani's Disappearance

Under Trevisani's leadership, the LSCRL focused on combatting negative stereotypes and discrimination faced by Lakkosian-Serenusi, particularly in the media and law enforcement. Trevisani's efforts included lobbying for fair representation in the media, challenging derogatory portrayals of Lakkosian-Serenusi, and advocating for legal protections against discrimination.

However, Giulio Trevisani's involvement in the LSCRL and his growing influence within the Lakkosian-Serenusi community attracted attention from law enforcement agencies. In 1981 (1 AF), he mysteriously disappeared under circumstances that remain unresolved. The details surrounding his disappearance have fueled speculation and conspiracy theories, with some suggesting that it may have been connected to his activism or his associations within the Lakkosian-Serenusi community. Alleged Difornaio Capo Les Hitaliano would take over as chairman of the league the following year.
