A one-mile stretch of road in Sierra County is stirring some debate among people in the area due to a potential name change in its future.
The debate stems from a request by property owners along "Jim Crow Road" to change the road's name.
The road's name refers to a Native Hawaiian man during the Gold Rush, whose namesake can be found on a ravine, stream and the aforementioned "Jim Crow Road," according to the LA Times.
However, there’s dismay with the name among the people who live on the street and among the people who visit the Sierra Shangri-la (SSL)  resort due to the phrase “Jim Crow” being tied to racist laws that segregated Black people.
