The rain couldn’t stop elected officials, community organizers, small business owners and residents in Richmond Hill from celebrating the street co-naming ceremony and street sign unveiling of “Little Guyana Avenue” at the corner of Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard on Saturday, May 29.
Hundreds of people attended the event, which honored the accomplishments, contributions and sacrifices of the Guyanese community in Richmond Hill and beyond. The event featured a brief history of Little Guyana, followed by remarks from elected officials, community organizations and local businesses, as well as performances from local artists.
