Chairman Fred Hampton Way

I was lucky to see this immediately after my most recent post about an MLK Jr. renaming. While the street is not technically being renamed - its only an honorary designation - the move is stunning. This is where I'd expect to see some outrage about a street renaming. I'd expect representatives and community members to stand up and shout about this. It did raise a stir because the Black Panthers were a controversial group and took militant stands. I expect to see sparks fly for Fred Hampton, but not for MLK Jr.
