Honored to have the opportunity to speak at the US Department of Labor on the occasion of their Black History Month commemoration. I had an opportunity to speak about obstacles overcome and some of the challenges ahead from my perspective as a Brooklynite, a legislator, and a New Yorker. Thanks for inviting me to commemorate this important recognition of Black History!
