“We have opened our stores and business houses in this quarter of the city, bringing our own language, customs, and foods. We live together in our own neighborhoods not because we reject our host country, but because we find safety and familiarity among our fellow countrymen. Here we can support each other, find work, and practice our traditions without fear.”
