I'm glad fo see LeCount recognized in this way, but I'm not sure why it has been so difficult to get City Council to rename Taney Street in her honor.

Wow, someone doing public comment calling out Darrell Clarke for not renaming Taney St. She says that she and her neighbors have made their consensus in favor of change clear, and it is time to make it happen.
Neighbors have voted to rename Taney St. after Caroline LeCount, AKA “Philly’s Rosa Parks.”
@TrenaeNuri speaks with @rename_taney, about how community members have been organizing for nearly 3 years to get the street renamed.
