"As we all know, our community, as well as Brooklyn and NYC in general, has been hit hard by gentrification, driven by developers and some community leaders and elected officials who prioritize [money] over people. While many have left the neighborhood, many of us refuse to leave. Every year, it becomes harder to raise funds for this parade, but we make it happen because we believe it's crucial to continue this tradition that has been a staple of Williamsburg and Bushwick for nearly 30 years. The power is with the people."
"Founded by Radames Milian of San German Records, the parade has grown into a yearly celebration of culture, history and community spirit. This year's march kicked off at 2 p.m., making its way along Meeker and Graham avenues. The route was full of dazzling costumes, colorful floats and spirited dancers. Attendees cheered as performers brought the story of The Three Kings to life."
