They are going to have change a lot of street names!
King County (Seattle) - my home - might get to keep its name.
The county was originally named for William R. King, an obscure slave owning Vice President under an equally obscure President Franklin Pierce.
Around 2005, the legislature and governor officially changed the designation honoring William King to Martin Luther King.
But, we still have a problem....
Around that same time, the always energetic King County Council decided to change our official county logo to an image of Martin Luther King - which appears on almost all King County forms, stationary, etc.
My prediction - the MLK “rape tape” will be declared a hoax, and nothing will change at all.
There’s a few black Kings that could take over for a deposed The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther. B.B. or Albert. Maybe Rodney.
