Rainbow banner, inscribed with messages of hope, wraps Brooklyn Borough Hall
From Brooklyn to Orlando with love
As a crowd on Joralemon Street applauded, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams climbed a ladder on Friday to attach the final segment of a massive rainbow banner which wraps completely around Borough Hall.
The banner, inscribed over the last week by people across Brooklyn, is a heartfelt message to the victims and survivors of the Orlando nightclub massacre on June 12, in which 49 people were killed and another 53 people were wounded.
“We are together; Love is never wrong,” one person wrote. “I am praying for you,” wrote another.
