Adriano Espaillat, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 13th district, recently shared updates on his legislative efforts and reflections on historical events through social media. Serving in Congress since 2017, Espaillat has been active in commemorating significant figures and milestones.
On December 5, 2024, Espaillat announced the approval of his legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives with the tweet: "¡Me enorgullece anunciar que mi Ley de la Moneda Conmemorativa Roberto Clemente ha sido aprobada en la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos! Estamos un gran paso más cerca de garantizar que el legado humanitario de Clemente quede consagrado."
In another post from the same day, he paid tribute to Rosa Parks by stating: "In December of 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat. This sparked 13 months of peaceful protest for the integration of public buses. Today, we remember her courage and her legacy." This message was reiterated in Spanish later that day: "En diciembre de 1955, Rosa Parks se negó a ceder su asiento en el autobús. Esto desencadenó 13 meses de protestas pacíficas por la integración de los autobuses públicos. Hoy recordamos su valentía y su legado."
