A melting pot
By definition a "melting pot" is a blending of many racial and social groups. Today some social scientist are declaring the melting pot concept a myth,
opting instead for
the concept of
a "salad bowl."

Labor Day in Brooklyn
West
Indian Day Parade: It's Labor Day
in Brooklyn, time again for New Yorkers and folks who come
from all points: England, Canada and across America.
Converging on Brooklyn,
New York for this grass-roots of Caribbean parades.
An interesting foot note.
Grand Army Plaza
traffic circle who's name sake the Grand Army of the Republic,
is a tribute to the American civil war union forces.
I find celebration in this 80 wide by 80 feet high
monument sitting in the middle of this circle.
It is dedicated to men and women of all races and creed who took up arms
against their southern brothers.
And died for the ideal of a perfect union. A fitting end to a parade of
pride by a people of African heritage, from
a different shore.
