Alabama city told to keep Confederate
street name or face $25,000 fine
Nov 23
Alabama’s capital city of Montgomery
is facing legal action or a $25,000
fine for changing the name of a street
bearing the name of a Confederate
president for a prominent civil rights
lawyer.
The state’s Republican attorney general
acted after Montgomery city council
voted to switch Jeff Davis Avenue,
named for Jefferson Davis, to Fred D
Gray Avenue, the 91-year-old lawyer
who represented Rosa Parks and others
in cases that challenged the state’s
segregation practices.
