Chief Judge Irizarry is keynote speaker at Kings County Family Court Hispanic Heritage event
The Kings County Family Court got a little help from the Federal Court as Chief Judge Dora Irizarry was the keynote speaker for its fourth annual Hispanic Heritage Month event that was held in the Downtown Brooklyn courthouse on Wednesday.
“Hispanic Heritage Month gives us an opportunity to come together one time at one place to reflect on all the wonderful accomplishments of Hispanic-Americans and to celebrate them and our future,” said Hon. Amanda White, supervising judge of the Kings County Family Court.
The event, called “Honoring Our Heritage and Building Our Future,” featured art displays by various Hispanic artists and an artifacts display. Giselle Lalla sang the national anthem, and there was a dance performance by Marisol Ramirez and Adriel Flete, a mother-and-son team.
