Governor Kathy Hochul has made history by officially recognizing Muslim American Heritage Month for the first time in New York State. As part of the recognition, state landmarks, including the iconic One World Trade Center, were illuminated in green to honor the contributions of Muslim Americans. The Council on American-Islamic Relations New York (CAIR-NY) welcomed this groundbreaking proclamation, expressing support for the initiative. However, the decision to light the landmarks green has sparked some controversy among different groups.
