Parade and politics

New York City’s Dominican Day Parade, held on Sunday along Sixth Avenue between 36th and 53rd Streets, featured some marchers making political statements. Mayor Bill de Blasio waved the Dominican flag, and one character in a Trump costume chased marchers wearing sombreros. There was a strong turnout by New York’s Bravest and New York’s Finest. The parade was dedicated to NYPD Officer Miosotis Familia, who was fatally shot in July in the Bronx.

Mr. Baseball of the NY Mets made an appearance, which seemed to lighten the mood and bring some cheers — fun for young and old on a sunny day in New York.
