WESTLAND, Mich. – The 33rd annual Sikh Heritage Banquet took place Saturday, Oct. 4, in Westland.
Sikh-Americans, neighbors and friends gathered to celebrate their rich culture and traditions. Members of law enforcement, fire departments and elected officials attended the event at the SoHo Banquet & Event Center on Warren Road.
Local 4’s own Priya Mann, who served as co-emcee, was honored with a Community Service Award for her volunteer efforts.
This year’s theme focused on the power of positivity.
“Sikh values are American values, these values are not different. We want to serve people with humility and with passion,” said Harpreet Sachdeva of the Sikh Heritage Foundation. “Let’s all be united together. The world is suffering and this is the time to come together and unite and help each other.”
Since arriving in the U.S. in the early 1900s, more than 125,000 Sikh-Americans now live in Michigan.
