vigil

On Sunday I went to Brooklyn. New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn spoke at the vigil in memory of José Sucuzhañay in Bushwick, Brooklyn. José died of injuries sustained in an attack on December 7th in which four men beat him and his brother with a bottle and bats shouting anti-gay and anti-Latino slurs. He was an Ecuadorian immigrant, father and small business owner. The vigil was organized by the Bushwick-based Make the Road.
