Malaak Shabazz, one of Malcolm X's daughters, appeared with Ramadan, calling him "driven and relentless".
"Nobody else has the resume I do.”
With those bold words, Zead Ramadan announced his candidacy for New York City Council in 2013.
Ramadan, a former chairman of Community Board 12, is seeking to replace Robert Jackson as Councilmember for District 7, which includes parts of Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood, as well as Morningside Heights and Hamilton Heights.
Councilmember Jackson will be vacating the spot due to term limits and is mounting a campaign for Manhattan Borough President.

City Councilmember Melissa Mark-Viverito helped organize “Stand Up!,” an open forum on stop and frisk for community residents.
Sara Diallo, 30, and her boyfriend were asleep on the train when two police officers woke them up.
The homeless couple had nowhere to go and felt safer and warmer on the train.
They were forced to leave and the cops searched her boyfriend for drugs and weapons, she said.
His pockets were empty, but he was still arrested that night.

Cientos se reunieron en el Crystal Room en Taino Towers para protestar.
Sara Diallo y su novio estaban dormidos en el tren cuando dos policías los despertaron.
La pareja de desamparados no tenían a donde ir y se sentían más seguros y calientes en el tren.
Fueron obligados a irse y los policías registraron a su novio por drogas y armas, dijo ella.
Sus bolsillos estaban vacíos, pero como quiera fue arrestado esa noche.

January 21– January 26
On a wickedly frigid night, Thursday, January 24th to be exact, Trouble In The Heights, the United Palace and Washington Heights made history. Trouble In The Heights became the first movie in over 40 years to be shown on the silver screen of the United Palace. Over 700 people came from the neighborhood and beyond to take part in this historic occasion. Check out the pictures of the festivities courtesy of Art By Dj Boy as well as a post that showed all the tweets about the movie and the evening. Not to mention that we also ran my review of the film that I referred to as the Latino Boys N The Hood.

Have you asked your children what history lessons they’ve learned lately?
If your child's curriculum resembles my daughter’s own, they’re all busy with the traditional Black History Month profile, wherein each child picks a famous or popular African-American figure to research and present to their classmates.
How about enriching the learning by taking your child on a field trip or historical adventure, and making it your family's own?
Our children should have a unique take on what it is to be a person of color Black or Latino, as many of us and our neighbors are one or both. Moreover, the communities in which we live offer abundant opportunity to experience cultural riches first-hand.

¿Ha preguntado a sus hijos qué lecciones de historia han aprendido últimamente?
Si el currículo de su hijo se parece al mío, están ocupados con el tradicional perfil del Mes de la Historia Negra, en donde cada niño elige a un personaje afroamericano famoso o popular para investigarlo y presentarlo a sus compañeros de clase.
¿Qué hay de enriquecer el aprendizaje llevando a su niño a una excursión o aventura histórica y convirtiendo esto en algo propio de su familia?
Nuestros hijos deben tener un enfoque único de lo que es ser una persona de color o latina, dado muchos de nosotros y nuestros vecinos somos una o ambas. Por otra parte, las comunidades en las que vivimos ofrecen abundantes oportunidades de experimentar la riqueza cultural de primera mano.

The original Usnavi, Lin-Manuel Miranda.
One is named Usnavi.
The other, Ali Saleh.
There are phonetic similarities in their names, and in their occasional disposition towards the occupation they share.
“I hate it,” says Saleh. “When you get a bodega, you’re married to the business.”
And Usnavi de la Vega agrees.
