Another Win-Win Solution Engineered By Al Sharpton
With 125th Street already named for Martin Luther King, Jr. and the portion of 125th Street in front of the Apollo already named for Nat King Cole, those wanting to honor the memory of James Brown find that they have simply run out of streets. Enter Al Sharpton:
A large part of 145th Street in Harlem soon may be renamed in honor of the late James Brown.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said yesterday he has met with officials from Community Board 10 about renaming the stretch of street from Lenox Avenue to Broadway “James Brown Way” for the late godfather of soul, who died Dec. 25 after a decadeslong, groundbreaking career. The street runs in front of the new headquarters of Sharpton’s activist group, the National Action Network.
Genius!
