Solidarity with Sikhs: De Blasio joins turban tying ceremony in Queens

Mayor Bill de Blasio had a turban tied for solidarity on Sunday.

The atmosphere outside the Gurdwara, the Sikh Cultural Society Inc. in Richmond Hill, Queens was one of unbridled excitement on Sunday, Aug. 29. Those attending the house of worship that afternoon eagerly awaited a ceremony that has not been performed in 30 years.
