I don’t know about that, but I found myself lost at the corner of Daisy Bates and MLK in Little Rock once. I knew them as 14th Street and High Street. I do find it fitting that High Street was remamed MLK.
In May 2000, a crowd of more than 2,000 gathered in Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock to honor her memory. At this event, President Bill Clinton acknowledged her achievements, comparing her to a diamond that gets “chipped away in form and shines more brightly.” In 2001, the Arkansas legislature enacted a provision that recognizes the third Monday in February as “Daisy Gatson Bates Day.” Thus, her memory (along with those of American presidents) is celebrated on that date as an official state holiday. There are streets in various towns in Arkansas, including Little Rock, which bear her name.
I had to look it up. I had never heard of her.
