The Annual Ceremony Commemorating
Charles J. Bonaparte 46th U.S. Attorney General and Founder of the FBI

On June 22, 1961, John N. LaCorte, who founded the Italian Historical Society of America in New York City, presented the U.S. Department of Justice with a monument dedicated to the memory of Charles Joseph Charles BonaparteBonaparte. The 46th Attorney General of the U.S., Bonaparte founded what is today's FBI, and also served as a Secretary of the Navy.

Robert F. Kennedy, who was the Attorney General in 1961, accompanied by Judge Edward Dominic Re, accepted the gift on behalf of the Department of Justice. Judge Re, who in 1961, was Chairman of the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, organized that original Bonaparte ceremony and subsequently spoke at nearly all the annual Bonaparte ceremonies until his passing in 2006.

For the past 20 years, The Friends of Charles J. Bonaparte, a group of current and former employees at the U.S. Department of Justice, have helped the Italian Historical Society of America continue this tradition by coordinating the annual Bonaparte ceremony. This year's ceremony will be held on September 12, 2012 in the Attorney General Press Conference Center at the RFK Department of Justice Bldg. The U.S. Solicitor General Donald Beaton Verrilli will be the Keynote Speaker.
