Sinopse

Ekushey February (or 21st of February) is commemorated by Bangladeshis across the world to honor students and activists who died in the 1952 Bengali Language Movement in what was then East Pakistan. Many years later, February 21st became known as “International Mother Language Day” across the world, a time for all people to reflect on, cherish, and protect the rich linguistic heritage of our human family. For the final episode of our language season, we sit for “cha” and “adda”  and hear the stories of Bangladeshi community members right here in Brooklyn. • Brooklyn, USA is produced by Emily Boghossian, Shirin Barghi, Charlie Hoxie, Khyriel Palmer, and Mayumi Sato.
