The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said it doesn’t mind remembering history
(In my best Elvis voice ...) Well, thank you very much.

Every thoroughfare named after MLK I’ve ever encountered has been an artery of crime running through the city. Want drugs, a prostitute, or just to be shot? Check out MLK Jr. Drive. <\I>

Bingo

No joke about the MLK in Austin, especially east of IH 35. That is one of the worst crime areas in the city. Don't go there after dark.

Sounds like a logical place to place the marker, but the NAACP has never had much going for it in the way of logic.
