Lawmakers gathered in Elmhurst Wednesday, Aug. 31, to celebrate the life and legacy of the late state Senator José Peralta, who fought tirelessly to pass the New York State DREAM Act, which allows thousands of undocumented young people across the state access to higher education.
The elected leaders from every level of government joined educators and students at P.S. 89 to celebrate The José Peralta School for DREAMers.
