A Colombia Match in Jackson Heights

"For IN JACKSON HEIGHTS I drew an imaginary line around part of the Borough of Queens..."

"167 languages are spoken in Jackson Heights. There are communities of people from every country in South and Central America as well as large groups of people from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Nepal and Tibet. They live together with the descendants of earlier immigrations to America-Italian, Jewish and Irish. The area is a true American "melting pot..." ~ Frederick Wiseman
