NJD, you have a good point. When every city has their token MLK, the gesture becomes more hollow. But I still feel like naming a street after Chavez makes sense, partially to acknowledge the evolving demographics of PDX, and partially just to update the fact that so many streets are named after wealthy white landowners. We definitely should be looking more to local history. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn Ave? Marie Equi St? We should at least have a C.E.S. Wood street somewhere downtown...
