Duke men's basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski was honored by the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. on Tuesday morning at the Sixth Annual Ellis Island Family Heritage Awards. The awards honored three outstanding Americans with roots to Ellis Island: Mike Krzyzewski in Sports, Bill Novelli in Public Service, and John Mack in Business. The Peopling of America Award, honoring an immigrant from another time period or different port of entry, saluted fashion entrepreneur Josie Natori. Due to weather conditions, Krzyzewski was unable to attend the awards ceremony hosted by ABC News Correspondent Lynn Sherr in the Great Hall at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum on Tuesday, April 17, the date that marks the centennial of the busiest day in Ellis Island's immigrant processing history.
