On Friday, September 9, 2022, the City of Yonkers raised the Mexican flag in honor of Mexican Independence Day. It is a great way to celebrate the many contributions our Mexican American neighbors have made and continue to make in the City of Yonkers.
The meaning of the flag's colors has evolved over time, the red now stands for the blood of the heroes who lost their lives while fighting for Mexico's independence, the white represents unity and the green stands for hope.
The flag raising ceremony is a celebration that embraces and honors the Mexican American culture and roots in our community.
VIVA MEXICO!
