Caribbean Heritage Month Celebrated With Flag Raising
By Jessica Angelo-Julien, MBA, JP
A handful of Caribbean nationals gathered in Central Park to support the sixth annual flag raising in the City of New Britain.
The air was filled with steal pan music reminiscent of disembarkation of an island cruise or on the beach on an exotic island.
A moco jumbie, a traditional dancer known as a spirit dancer or stilts walker danced to the beat of the music.
The time of the event was changed with the hope that it would attract more attendees than in past years.
The Caricom flag will fly in Central Park for one week.
