Also in attendance was New York State Senator Kevin Parker who acknowledged the event and the honorees with a Senate Resolution
commending them for their impact to their local as well as the global community. “If these young people leave college only knowing people who look like them, talk like them, walk and eat the same food as them, listen to the same music, that’s a Shakespearean tragedy because the globe is opening up and our young people need to explore that globe.” said Borough President Eric Adams.
