Description

When Democrat Tom Suozzi won his special election last week, he thanked a lot of people. WNYC’s Brigid Bergin reports Asian American voters were high on his list. Meanwhile, for the first time in the city’s history, Staten Island will host an LGBTQ+ friendly St. Patrick’s Day Parade, in addition to the original parade. Plus, tonight, the Juilliard School will present a special musical performance to honor Seneca Village, a 19th-century predominantly black community in Manhattan. Also, this weekend, a figure ice skating team from Howard University will make history as the first team from an HBCU to take part in an intercollegiate competition. WNYC’s Michael Hill speaks with Sharon Cohen, founder of Figure Skating in Harlem to learn about the event.
