Mamdani Sworn In on 18th Century Quran

Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York, had a special swearing-in ceremony using a very old Quran from the 1700s.

This Quran is from a place called Ottoman Syria and is written in black ink with some red highlights.

It's not fancy but was used by regular people.

Now, everyone in New York can see it at the main library.

The mayor also fixed a big bump on Delancey Street that many cyclists found annoying.

He worked with a crew to smooth out the bump, which has been a problem for a long time.

Some people are happy about the fix, while others enjoyed the challenge the bump presented.

The mayor shared pictures of these events on a website called X. The Quran is now part of an exhibit that starts today.
