Who was Thomas Mollicone? The story behind the naming of an east side Detroit park


Listen Later

Thomas Mollicone immigrated to Detroit from Italy with his family as a young child, and was later drafted into the military to serve in World War II at the age of 23. Mollicone was killed in the line of duty, and the Indian Village community where he resided moved to dedicate a local park in his honor years later. On the latest episode of "CuriosiD," we answer a question from Mollicone's family about what led to the park's dedication in his name. Have your own question about Detroit?
