Alexandria looks into renaming confederate streets

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:31:23 GMT

In Virginia, the City of Alexandria is looking into renaming six streets with ties to the confederacy.It’s part of a new proposed process by Mayor Justin Wilson to rename streets with Confederate references.“Our predecessors used street naming policies as a form of permanent protest against the burgeoning civil rights movement and growing political power for African-Americans.

These honors are not defensible and should be removed,” Wilson said in a statement announcing the street renaming initiative.Since then, 63 streets have been singled out, three of which will be chosen each year for renaming. The City Council Naming Committee said it determined the order of streets to be renamed “based on household and commercial impact as well as historical significance.”Wilson said that he believed it was the right move for the city to take, calling t...
