Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City Part II





Christian Lehner from FM4 radio (Austrian Broadcast) just posted an article about the Puerto Rican Day Parade yesterday on his website. His story "Upper East Side vs. Spanish Harlem" is about the collective self-deception of a multicultural city as New York is. His article is unfortunately only available in German. By the way: He used some photos I shot at the parade and at the 116th Street Festival for this article.
I also found a very interesting article called "Why I no Longer Go to the Puerto Rican Day Parade" written by Robert Colón on the website of the NY Latino Journal. An article about the diversity of this parade and the historical relationship between Puerto Rico and the US.
More of my photos of this Sundays parade can be found here and photographs of this Saterdays festival in Spanish Harlem can be found here.
