A street in New York in the USA is named after the national hero, Gjergj Kastriot Skënderbeu.
The Albanian American community organized a ceremony with Albanian music and flags to inaugurate the new street in New York. New York Mayor Eric Adams and Erion Veliaj also joined the ceremony. The celebrations in the Bronx, in a part of the city, which is now known as “Little Albania”, aroused the interest of Americans. The new name at the intersection of Crescent Avenue and Adams Place was approved earlier this year by New York City, at the request of former city council member and Albanian-American activist Mark Gjonaj.
