Who led the Italian-American Civil Rights League to protest the depiction of Italians as Mafia in entertainment?

Crime boss Colombo went so far as to create the Italian-American Civil Rights League in 1970, claiming the FBI harassed Italian-Americans, after his son, Joseph Colombo Jr., was charged in a crime. He would later use the League to put pressure on Paramount Pictures in the making of The Godfather, which eventually led to full cooperation from the Mafia.
