Martin Luther King Day

The American holiday dedicated to the fighter for the rights of African Americans, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martin Luther King, was celebrated in different ways by New Yorkers.
The charity organization The Coney managed to turn a holiday weekend into a solemn event at PS 288 in Brooklyn, when they remembered the defender of African American rights Martin Luther King. Children artists, authors of poems and essays, including those on the theme “I have a dream” or the words of Martin Luther King, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, were awarded certificates of honor.
I have a dream. Members of the Brooklyn USA basketball team also received honorary trophies.
The Coney understands how important it is to motivate young people to move forward, and events like this teach that. Courage, talent and perseverance are important factors for success. The organizers of the gala event, representatives of the charitable organization The Coney, sincerely believe that the achievements of schoolchildren will become a source of inspiration and example for many!
The Coney organization works to improve the lives of residents of southern Brooklyn, understanding how important it is to distract young people from the harmful influence of the street and in the future find young people jobs.
A lot of work was done by a worthy American leader, a representative of the Russian-speaking community, district leader Dmitry Kugel, as well as Thomas Sicignano, head of Brooklyn USA Basketball, Jeanine Ramirez, a representative of the Mayor’s office, Justin Brannan, a member of the New York City Council, Scott Cantone and other organizers events that understand how important it is for the further progress of Coney Island, Brooklyn and the United States to educate young people, so they spent their day off with schoolchildren, for which they are deeply grateful.
