On June 1, 2008, Puerto Rican residents of New York held a parade in Long Island. It was one of the biggest of the local parades, with more than 20 thousand people watching it. Falun Gong practitioners also took part in the parade as the only Asian group.
When seeing the banner which reads, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," a local resident shouted: "This is the real theme of today's parade."
