Margaret Stafford, Associated Press Kansas City, Mo. After years of debate and a divisive election, Kansas City will soon have a street route named for Martin Luther King Jr., removing its designation as one of the largest cities in the U.S. without a street named for the civil rights icon. The city’s Board of Parks and Recreation on Tuesday unanimously approved a plan to name a 5-mile stretch along existing boulevards that runs east to west through the city for King. It was the culmination of decades of work by civil rights activists, who celebrated Tuesday’s vote along with Mayor Quinton Lucas and other city officials. Several speakers at a news conference vowed that naming a street for King was only the first step in work to improve race relations in the city and provide economic stimulus to struggling areas along the route.
