Kansas City Votes To Remove Martin Luther King's Name From Historic Street

Voters in Kansas City overwhelmingly supported removing Dr. Martin Luther King's name from one of the city's most historic boulevards yesterday.

The decision comes less than a year after the city council decided to rename the street, which had been known as The Paseo. Unofficial results showed the proposal to remove King's name received nearly 70% of the vote, with just over 30% voting to retain King's name.
