One of the first things I noticed about my culture growing up was the amount of pride Puerto Ricans have. My parents took me to the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City every June, where millions of people would flock to Fifth Avenue to wave flags, play salsa, eat pastelillos, and dance in the streets. Seeing the Puerto Rican flag hanging from apartment windows, fire escapes, and lampposts is part of New York’s infrastructure at this point.
