Ukrainians in New York
By Laurie Lewis
The broad blue and yellow bands of the Ukrainian flag have cropped up everywhere this year: transforming landmarks like the Empire State Building, hanging on the façades of stores and residences, pinned on lapels, draped over demonstrators gathered in support of the besieged nation. Many of those participating in the New York rallies are among the 64,000 Ukrainian Americans living in the city, which is home to more people of Ukrainian descent than any other place in the United States.
