  • A Brief List of Major Holidays Celebrated by the Tapestry of Ethnic Groups in the Empire State
    A Brief List of Major Holidays Celebrated by the Tapestry of Ethnic Groups in The Empire State With a population of almost 20 million residents, New York State is the home of people from across our planet. With residents from over 170 sovereign nations, New York City alone is one of the most diverse urban centers on Earth. The factors that create this tremendous diversity are based on social, economic and geopolitical forces that shape our world. Our ability to coexist in a peaceful and civil society serves as an example to all nations that tolerance for ethnic and religious diversity can create a progressive and egalitarian-focused society. For a nation in the midst of heated debates over immigration reform, our tapestry of ethnic groups and nationalities can be classified as the “American Empire coming home.” I hope this overview of major holidays celebrated by millions of our fellow residents will continue to foster the notion that unity is achieved and maintained through mutual respect and understanding. As always, if I can be of assistance to you with this or any other community issue, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at my office 718-893-0202 or 518-455-5514. Assemblyman Marcos A.
