Hochul orders NY landmarks, including One World Trade Center, lit green for Muslim American Heritage Month

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday issued a proclamation declaring January Muslim American Heritage Month across the state and directed 16 state landmarks, including NYC's One World Trade Center, to be illuminated green Friday night in "celebration of the heritage and culture of Muslim Americans."

"Home to the largest Muslim American population in the nation, New York is proud to join in this month-long celebration, recognizing the values, faith and traditions of our Muslim American communities," Hochul said in a statement.

"New York remains committed to being a beacon of hope, tolerance, and inclusivity that celebrates the diversity of its Muslim American population and protects them from Islamophobia, hate, bias, and harm."

One World Trade Center stands on the site of 6 World Trade Center, which was heavily damaged by debris during the collapse of the North Tower in the 9/11 attacks.

The terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks were Muslim and members of al Qaeda, a violent militant group.
