Chicago is identified as "the first city in the world" to name a street after Dr. King. But Tampa is identified as "the first" to do so, on April 11, 1968, one week after the assassination. Obviously, at least one of them can't be right. (Is it possible that Tampa was the first in
Florida to rename a

I'm confused. Under the
Washington D.C. entry there is a description of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue which includes information about Frederick Douglass's home and mentions other civil-rights figures. I wonder if we shouldn't be a bit more careful to make sure this list is about streets named after
596:
And now I see that there's a reference to
Malcolm X in the listing for Lansing, Michigan. These really need to be removed. This is a list specifically of streets and roads named after Dr. King, not an all-purpose Black History page. Also, @2601:C4:8301:DE90:B5E7:261E:A9E1:655A: I'm glad President

absolutely shocked -- shocked I tell you -- to learn the origin of the King County name. At the same time being somewhat practical folk, they decided it would cost a lot of money to change the name of the county something other than King, so they "renamed" it for Martin Luther King.
392:
And meanwhile, a city such as
Indianapolis, which is where Robert Kennedy received the news of MLK's death, is left out. Not only does Indy have an MLK Boulevard, there is also a monument on the location of RFK's speech following MLK's assassination.
351:
And how about instances where streets renamed to some variation of the MLK theme have later been changed back to their original name, or to some other name? Surely there must be at least a few.
452:
If there are more than 600 streets named MLK, there cannot be more than 75% of these found in six states, if even the state with the most streets named MLK, Georgia, has only 75 streets total.

Seattle is included because I created the page, I needed some cities to start with, and being in the
Seattle area I happen to know where its MLK street is.
