South Florida Street Expected To Be Renamed For Obama

South Florida Local 10

- One South Florida city is planning to honor the president-elect with his own street.

Opa-locka plans to rename Perviz Avenue to Barack Obama Avenue on President’s Day in February. The city commission voted on the name change last week and officials say it is expected to finalize the approval next month.

Opa-locka is a predominantly heavily African-American community north of downtown Miami.

    Wow. It has already started. Soon Barack Obama Street or B. H. Obama Ave. will be parallel or interesecting with M.L.K. Drives/Ave./St. in many cities. I get chills thinking about this moment in history and what it will mean for future generations.
