Letter to the editor: Salamanca’s Letter to Bronxites

Written By Rafael Salamanca

When I was growing up in the South Bronx, my parents taught me the value of hard work, resilience and looking out for your neighbors. My father worked at the Hunts Point Market to provide for our family, and my mother dedicated herself to healthcare, ensuring others got the care they needed. They instilled in me a simple but powerful lesson: When one of us succeeds, we all succeed.
