It was the Annual TEAM DIAZ Abrazo in Honor of Garifuna-American Month. Well almost TEAM DIAZ as two members were missing. Newly elected State Senator Luis Sepulveda and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. were absent from the event for various reasons. No matter former State Senator now Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr. took center stage and the Abrazo went on as you will see from the photos below.
