movement from the Indian subcontinent to the Americas; in addition to

the abilities of young role models in the Richmond Hill, Queens communi-

tions of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our atten-
tion, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens of
this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
