Major MLK Street to Promote Political Equality in the Future

January 27, 2014

Arizona residents speak out about the increasing lack of Black Americans in the Arizona's politically elected officeholders. Phoenix City Council Members, Michael Nowakowski and Kate Gallego, are working to relocate a street in Phoenix named for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Past efforts in the city to name a more prominent street for Dr. King have failed for various reasons and local activist say this needs to change.

If there is greater equality within the political landscape will that encourage greater equality in local and state politics?
