YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Legislation will be introduced to rename Old Wheat Street to Cornelius Taylor Street in honor of a man killed by a city truck during the clearing of a homeless encampment in 2025. The proposal comes as organizers plan to pack Atlanta City Hall at noon Tuesday for the street renaming effort.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Taylor's former partner Kristen Garrett says it's time to get people off the streets.
