Black youth empowerment luncheon

Dear Editor:
African American History month is coming to an end, however I would like to take time to show my deepest gratitude for those who work endlessly to help keep the African American dreams alive here in Hoboken thanks to the wonderful people like Mr.Leo Pellegrini, Mr. Carmelo Garcia, and Mr. Aacevedo just to mention a few of our great leaders here in Hoboken with a good heart and a positive motive to help make Hoboken a diverse city. Let’s give these great people recognition for the “Black Youth Empowerment Luncheon” it was a great success with almost two hundred people. Director Leo Pellegrini and mayor Dawn Zimmer has done so much this month for African American history month to give the African Americans hope, strengthen, and the positive reinforcement they need to set their goals high and keep the faith to archive them. I think it’s only fair to mention some residents and their accomplishments, they achieved her in Hoboken.
