Year-Round Work, Annual Parade
The West Indian American Day Carnival Association runs educational workshops for youth and adults from 1561 Bedford Avenue. WIADCA Cares extends its community support beyond those programs.

Open-Air Remembrance
Korean War Veterans Plaza occupies 287 Fulton Street in Brooklyn Heights. Its granite monument honors fallen soldiers, with engraved names that visitors can read while walking the grounds.
