Cesar E. Chevez Renaming Moves Downtown
A Portland City Council compromise would rename Southwest Fourth Avenue in honor of labor and civil rights leader Cesar E. Chavez, avoiding a conflict over a plan by Latino activists to rename
Interstate Avenue in north Portland. Southwest Fourth faces City Hall (above), but also fronts Chinatown a few blocks away, where members o f the Chinese American community have voiced
their opposition to the decision.
