A significant number of Black migrants, many from African nations, gathered at New York City Hall to participate in a City Council hearing focused on their experiences and challenges in the city. The hearing, led by Council Members Alexa Aviles and Mercedes Narcisse, aimed to address issues such as job opportunities, language barriers, and access to services. The turnout was unprecedented, with an estimated 1,200 attendees, highlighting the community's urgent need for support and policy changes. The hearing was part of a broader effort by the city to improve the migrant experience, including the creation of a team of advisors specifically for this purpose. The venue reached capacity with 250 admitted and hundreds more flooding the park.

"This is unacceptable. This is shameful time for NY City... IT IS ANTI-AFRICAN AND XENOPHOBIC!" Foreigners show up at a NYC town hall to complain their free food and lodging are not up to their standards. THEN WHY ARE THEY IN AMERICA TO BEGIN WITH? 🤔 https://t.co/WqV48JFzcT
