Coral Gables designating US-1 to now be called Harriet Tubman Highway Updated:  Tags:  Coral Gables takes steps to rename US-1 after Harriet Tubman CORAL GABLES, Fla. – A step forward on Tuesday in the effort to change the name of Dixie Highway, a name often linked with the Confederacy. Thanks to a unanimous vote, the City of Coral Gables decided to designate its portions of South Dixie Highway, or US-1, in the name of famed abolitionist Harriet Tubman. A city memo stated that, “Dixie represents a troubling time in our nation’s past, marred by the inhuman celebration and unconscionable profit of the perils of racism, segregation, and the atrocities of slavery.”
