Portland sign welcomes Syrian refugees to Maine
Source: Bangor Daily News
PORTLAND, Maine — A sign of support welcoming refugees to Maine is hanging on a Congress Street apartment building. Neighbors and people passing by have written messages nearly filling up all the blank space on the sign.
“It’s great. It shows that we agree that they should be over here and not over there,” East End resident Maureen Roy said.
Strand Covoner, who grew up in Maine, said, “It speaks volumes to the fact that people here are open minded and open to diversity and embracing other cultures.”
Covoner said when he walked by the sign for the first time he felt compelled to sign his name. He said it’s nice to see this message especially so close to Thanksgiving.
