When the streets of America were being renamed for MLK

there was a certain if not great acceptance to that being justified. But I read about an intersection in Little Rock today that is kind of scary. The names of the two streets are Sharpton and Holder. That is definitely frightening as it recognizes two clowns as being of great import to the country.

MLK in just about every city I've been to is crap - even the roads.
Does the ghetto flock to MLK Blvd or something? The one here in Houston you don't want to drive at night

I biked down MLK today, and I said to the wife - this is the safest, nicest MLK bvld in the world.
They rehabbed an old industrial area and turned it into upscale stuff......drive 2 mins away and its crips vs. bloods.

Houston is very similar. You'll have mansions and 2-3 blocks away, it's back to the ghetto. Gentrification I suppose.

i think they were ghetto already, and the residents pushed for the name change to MLK Rd. At least for the one in DS.

In Shreveport, the street they renamed MLK used to be known as Cooper Road. 25 years later, the overwhelming majority of black people I knew still referred to it as "the Cooper Road".
I would imagine that young people today refer to it as MLK, but I don't know that for sure.
