United States: Elegant Paper Cranes Bring the Spring Back to New York

Several Falun Dafa practitioners from New York City and Albany, the capital of New York State, set up a booth at the Black & Puerto Rican Legislative Caucus, which was held on February 18th, 2006 at the Empire State Plaza in Albany. This event attracted the attention and involvement of many people, officials, and businesses, including some from New York City. The conference site was almost packed. With the practitioners' peaceful demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises and helpful instructions on making folded paper cranes, the people passing by seemed so joyful, as though walking in a spring breeze. Even though the temperature outside was below 12 degrees, they held their paper cranes, and seemed reluctant to leave the practitioners booth.
