A highway in Florida won't be keeping its name much longer after a county voted to change the name of a handful of"Dixie" highways to"Harriet Tubman Highway."
Miami-Dade County commissioners unanimously approved plans Wednesday to rename portions of The Dixie Highway, which runs 5,786 miles through 10 states from Michigan to Miami, according to CNN affiliate WPLG."The time is always right to do what is right," said Miami-Dade District 9 Commissioner Dennis Moss, quoting Martin Luther King, Jr. Moss led the effort to rename the highway after Tubman, a famous African American abolitionist.
bakerkaren555 Well deserved.
Great
Regardless if one lives in a $169 milllion dollar home or a 10cent bag home on the streets everyone's final home is always the same size.
Bravo!
Boooo
I’d rather a school than a highway... But thanks for the long type appreciation.
Harriet Tubman was a child molester...STOP rewriting history and hiding the truth to fit your PC agenda.
It'll still be Dixie Highway tho.
As long as we don’t have to see that mug when driving on it
The city of Plantation is next
Why don’t we keep Confederate history and also put history about heros such as Harriet Tubman? We shouldn’t forget the time when brothers fought each other.

Are you sad, are you bored of life? listen to this
Will this make everyone happy and we can all get along ? No .
Dixie in MN agrees with the name change!
Thank you GOD for giving us patience it's been a long time coming !!!
Crackers gonna go insane!
Good.
Maybe instead of changing name change how the word is perceived and make it a positive it still has history linked to it and show where we never wanna go back to
Anout damn time!
Did she go to Florida at some time?
✊🏾👍🏾
This highway was once a tribute to the Confederacy. Soon, it will honor Harriet Tubman
. The word Dixie is only racially charged in the mind of an insane person
Why? What does purging the name accomplish?
Florida did something right?
