CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -Charlottesvilleâs Fourth Street Northwest is getting an honorary name. It will soon be called Black History Pathway.
Mr. Alex-Zan submitted the proposal on behalf of many elders in the community in September of 2020 as a way to honor the streetâs legacy.
Charlottesvilleâ City Council initially delayed Mr. Alex-Zanâs request because of a policy stating the honorary name is to recognize an individual, organization, entity, event, or something of local significance to the city.
