Many people came out Sunday to celebrate Guyana's 53rd anniversary of independence.

Guyanese culture was on full display with the annual Guyanese Independence Parade on Church Avenue.

Organizers say the goal is to unify all of the Guyanese people who live in Brooklyn.

This New York celebration is Guyana's largest Independence commemoration outside of Guyana.

Parade goers say they wanted to show the world their pride in being Guyanese and Brooklyn residents.
