6th annual gathering Secaucus, New Jersey, USA
This year it was held in New Jersey in the same premises as the FOBANA (Federation of Bangladeshi American Associations in North America).
Our guest of honor was Congressman Hansen (Hashim) Clarke flanked by his wife Choi Clarke. The 53-year-old Detroiter is one of nine new Democrats in the 112th Congress.
Clarke’s father Abdul Hashim immigrated to the USA from Sylhet (now in Bangladesh) in 1930s. He died when Clarke was 8 years old. His African-American mother Thelma Clarke had to work as a school crossing guard to support her son through school. His talents in painting got him a scholarship in Cornell. He dropped out of Cornell and remained unemployed for a while and later returned to Cornell to graduate and subsequently entered Georgetown University to complete his law degree.
