The salsa music blared. The marching bands strutted their stuff. And hundreds of revelers lined Grand Concourse on Sunday for the 20th Annual Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade.
This year’s parade was all about diversity and celebrating not only “la raza,” but all ethnic groups.
“Our ancestors taught us that we should embrace other people, help each other and share in our richness and heritage together,” said parade organizer Francisco Gonzalez. “So, this year’s parade was for all ethnic groups. We all have pride in our heritage and came here to live the American dream. So, we wanted to bring everyone together.”"*
