Commemorative plaque honors 2 NYC community champions

By: Shirley L Ng

A commemorative plaque was unveiled on Sunday in New York City’s Chinatown honoring two men that advocated for a community they both loved. Community champions Frank Mosco and Corky Lee were remembered with a commemorative plaque that paid tribute to their advocacy and their relationship bridging the Italian Americans and Chinese Americans.

Mosco was a community leader and founder of the Two Bridges Neighborhood Council who cared deeply about the community and it’s residents. In 1982, Mosco was honored for his extensive community service with a street bearing his name in Chinatown, which has been co-named with Corky Lee Way in 2023.
