2.32 20-0577 Subject: Commemorative Street Renaming In Honor Of Chauncey Bailey
From: Councilmember McElhaney
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Commemoratively Renaming 14th Street Between Oak Street To Broadway Avenue As "Chauncey Bailey Way" Per The Process Established By Res. No. 77967 C.M.S.
Thank you to District 3 Councilmember McElhaney for putting forward the Chauncey Bailey Way street naming resolution. I wholeheartedly support this resolution because Mr. Bailey dedicated his life as a journalist to exposing important stories about issues of relevance to Black people, which is the reason he was murdered. Young people deserve to see the (s)heroes within their community raised up and honored. This is one small way to do so on behalf of a fighter of freedom and justice who gave his life presenting Black stories to people who matter. It is my hope that honoring Chauncey Bailey will be cause for more young people to follow in his journalistic footsteps.
