FAIRFAX, Calif. (KGO) Fairfax is a Marin town that is roughly 90% white and, as of the first week of March, 100% polarized.
All of this tension is emerging because of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, a major road which winds 40 miles from San Francisco Bay through the coastal North Bay hills.
This week, the Fairfax Town Council voted for a name change to address Drake s problematic legacy.
Sir Francis Drake being the first white man to land on nearby shore carries less weight here than his past as a slave trader and his detrimental impact on local Native Americans.
The council wants to call the road the Coastal Miwok Trail, at least within the borders of Fairfax.
