Immigrant Heritage Week kicks off today! On this day in 1907, a record number of immigrants (11,000) entered the U.S. through Ellis Island, which is designated both as a historic district and an interior landmark.

Commissioner Commissioner Manuel Castro & Dr. Ted Long from NYC Health + Hospitals gave a tour of the Asylum Seeker Arrival Center to case managers representing immigrant groups across the city. We shared how new arrivals are welcomed & provided w/ crucial support to begin their lives in NYC.

How do we ensure that community members are valued as experts who have a role in decision-making? On 4/19, Commissioner Commissioner Manuel Castro will be joining city partners & professionals at NYC DOT’s Equity in Motion conference to explore & discuss equitable cities. #EquityInMotion

Today marks Ellis Island's busiest day, recorded on April 17, 1907, when 11,000 immigrants entered the U.S. through the Island and inspired New York City's annual Immigrant Heritage Week celebration.

This week we kick off the 20th annual Immigrant Heritage Week with our campaign “Celebrating the City of Immigrants”, honoring long time immigrant New Yorkers and recently arrived immigrants.
