Mayor Eric Adams, in a show of unity for all groups, strongly endorses the National Columbus Day Parade in New York City and the celebration of Italian and Italian American culture. “Uplifting the heritage of groups doesn’t have to tear down other groups. We have room in this country to uplift all groups because all of us contribute to what we call the American Dream.” In an interview with Arthur Aidala on the “Arthur Aidala Power Hour” radio show, Mayor Adams also said, “I look forward to marching and as I have stated not only this year but in previous years, we have a rich Italian community.” The Columbus Heritage Coalition in 2021 endorsed and is proud to support Mayor Eric Adams.
