The community came out on the rainy morning of June 17th to honor the late Angelo Falcón at the unveiling of South 1st and Havemeyer Streets’ new co-name: Angelo Falcón Way. Members of Mr. Falcón’s family were joined by Council Member Antonio Reynoso; Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez’s District Director, Evelyn Cruz; community activists, and neighbors. The rain didn’t dampen the spirit behind this co-naming. Angelo Falcón lived from childhood until his untimely death in Williamsburg’s Southside. His contributions as an educator and activist brightened the community and changed it for the better.
