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."
