Peabody honors its Brazilian community | Local News
PEABODY — Local schoolchildren sang the Brazilian national anthem as that nation’s flag was raised in front of City Hall Tuesday, a display of pride for the South American country and its local diaspora in honor of Brazilian Independence Day.
Many of these 60 or so students, all Brazilian themselves, wore yellow and green soccer jerseys and carried their own Brazilian flags during the ceremony.
