Springer Boulevard
Michelle Malkin has a tidbit on Little Rock's effort to clean up its image for the Clinton Library opening.
Seeking to distance itself from a checkered racial past, Little Rock erased "Confederate Blvd." from interstate highway signs just weeks before dignitaries arrived for the opening of Bill Clinton's presidential library.
The Confederate Boulevard signs had been the first landmarks many saw after landing at the city's airport. And while the boulevard still runs north from Interstate 440, signs for Exit 1 now tout a southbound stretch of the same road named "Springer Blvd.," which honors black community leader Horace Springer and his family...
It's a good thing I read the second paragraph. I had assumed that, given the subject of the post, Springer Boulevard was named after Jerry.
