So far Martin Luther King, George Floyd and Freddie Gray have been proposed as names for the new bridge.

Francis Scott Key was a slaveowner so they can't name the new bridge after him.

Another possibility would be Alexander Cochrane, the British commander attacking Fort McHenry in 1814. He had earlier offered freedom to American slaves who joined the British forces.
