After about 7 years of being hidden behind scaffolding and netting, the Flatiron Building is finally showing its facade again seen during sunset in New York City, Wednesday evening #newyork#newyorkcity#nyc#sunset#flatironbuilding
In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited New York City on his way home from accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. Speaking to a packed crowd at City Hall, Dr. King said,
"Those who have sat so long in darkness now find themselves lighting the way for others... They will hold this torch high without faltering because they have weathered the battering storms of persecution and withstood the temptation to retreat to a more quiet and serene life.”
These words continue to inspire and guide us, on MLK day and every day that follows.
Thank you to the Department of Public Records for these pictures.
In the face of hateful smears, anti-Muslim slurs and disinformation, @ZohranKMamdani remained defiant and dignified.
His response - meeting hate with hope and unity - inspired New Yorkers and many beyond.
I wish him every success as he takes office.
