Caribbean Chamber celebrates MLK at Borough Hall
The Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CACCI) held a small business power breakfast meeting at Borough Hall in Downtown Brooklyn on Friday to celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Today is a historic day as we remember a legend on the weekend of his birthday,” said Dr. Roy A. Hastick Sr., president and CEO of CACCI. “We have a lot to be thankful for, but we are not there yet. We have a lot of accomplishments to be proud of, but when you look at the scorecard, we are not where we are supposed to be.”
Many local business members, religious leaders and politicians were on hand for the event, including Borough President Eric Adams, Congressmember Yvette D. Clarke, NYS Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, Councilmember Mathieu Eugene and Public Advocate Letitia James.
