“Identity & the Struggle between the Culture of Human Rights and the Mafia”<\/em><\/h3>\n

As Mayor of Palermo from 1985 to 1990 and 1993 to 2000 and returning to the position in 2012, Leoluca Orlando has dedicated his career to the rebirth of his beloved city after decades of Mafia rule. His brilliant civic strategy ignited a virtual Renaissance in Palermo, demonstrating the power of civil society to change the city\u2019s trajectory from one of crime and corruption to one of justice, democracy and civil and human rights. Palermo\u2019s story exemplifies Orlando\u2019s leadership and the courage of its citizens to restore social and political values despite a looming threat of retaliation and fear.
