Street Won’t Honor Martin Luther King Jr. (AP) — Civil rights leaders are expressing frustration after the Eugene City Council voted 6- 2 against renaming a major city street after Martin Luther King Jr. The vote Monday came after a year o f debate over renam ing Centennial Boulevard. Council members instead agreed to form a com m ittee to study other ways o f honoring the slain civil rights leader. “W e’re demoralized," said Ed Coleman, a civil rights advocate who led a two-block march to City Hall before the council session. “D idn’t we know that’s what they were going to do?" The committee will announce its recom m en dation on alternative m eans to honor King on Sept. 17. Councilwoman Betty Taylor said she voted against the renaming because Centennial Boule vard honors ( )regon 's first 100 years o f statehood. “I think we need to have some respect for the history o f the community," she said. “I think we need to honor the wishes o f the entire community."
