City removes Martin Luther King's name from street

Ms Canady, who is black, said the council had been aware that"the political will was not there".

The Kansas City Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference - an organisation founded by Dr King - led efforts to keep the street's name in his honour. They did not respond to a request for comment.Martin Luther King was the most visible and inspirational figure in the US civil rights movement

Sad😩

Well done that city, he was nothing but a big mouth playing the race card.

Just going to wait for the white snowflakes to go off one a mad one blaming racists even though it was in a black neighborhood 😂 keep it up Merica

Why?

But Carrying guns is ok? Lol what a lost country.

It's racist like all the statues that have been removed. This is what it has come to because of liberals.

Disgusting behaviour by the BBC, with a headline and picture to whip people into a rage and cry racism. The BBC knowing many people will respond without reading the article.

Let's all blame the big bad white man!

Disgusting

Because 955 American street names just isn't enough...

Idol worshippers. Streets shouldn’t be named after people and every statue should be pulled down.

Whilst the BBC tries to promote the 'R; card, what they fail to mention is that the street was named after its hispanic links and the people weren't consulted about changing it. They protested, won the right to vote and changed it back to its old name

About time! Think of all the TheLostCause feelings, they are hurting bad these days!

Well there’s about 75% of the responses here to the deliberately shot headline and not to the actual story. Fucking BBC.

Disgraceful!

In South Africa street names are changed without consultation to display post independence arrogance by Governing Parties in Africa

They'll be pulling down statues next.

What?!!!

I’m sure it’s just economic anxiety to blame. 🙄

Anti-Blackness is still a thing, y'all. In case you weren't aware.

Let me fix that opening line: Not voters------ 'Racists overwhelmingly...'
