Memphis honors King with freeway naming tribute
Memphis dedicated a section of Interstate 255 in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr to mark the third anniversary of his death. The city council approved naming the north south freeway for King in a close vote with mayoral absence noted. A later rally planned with Sen Birch Bayh and Rev Walter Fauntroy and union leader Jerry Wurf was to honor the slain civil rights leader. Confederate Parkway protesters challenged the decision citing 1963 promises.
