Members of the community were upset in March 2019 when the original nameplate disappeared. Beyond commemorating the civil rights leader, the plaque also listed the names of individuals and organizations who helped fund the statue at MLK Jr. Park.
“There’s so many layers to the significance of this plaque,” said newly elected 6th District Councilwoman Suely Saro, whose district includes the park. “It’s our history, our Long Beach history.”
But replacing the plaque wasn’t an easy task said Isabel Arvea, chief of staff of former 6th District Councilman Dee Andrews. “We didn’t, in the beginning, have a clear picture of all the names that were on the plaque,” Arvea said.
