Huh! NO. NOT ABOUT RACE
I am a 100% latina woman and part the latino community, who is AGAINST the name change. I have lived in Interstate neighborhood for 10 years. I and everyone I know opposing the Interstate name change would be EQUALLY opposed to renaming to ANY leader of any race. You can't possibly think Sam is sending a negative message by considering an even MORE prominent street - 4th Ave.

Jamie, do me a favor - do not try to speak on behalf of better informed Latinos like myself and others. And, yes, Sam is doing the right thing - he is listening to the North Portland community.
