(Bronx - February 20th) Senator Stewart-Cousins was honred by Senator Ruben Diaz at his annual African-American Abrazo. "Abrazo" means embrace, and the Senator felt the warmth of that embrace from fellow Senators who attended, as well as colleagues in government in the Assembly. Each February, during Black History Month, Senator Diaz holds this event. This year, Assemblymen Marcos Crespo, Luis Sepulveda and Michael Blake also joined in.
