Print San Diego has no shortage of history to reflect on during what should be a holiday of reverence, introspection and charity. But the bit of history that I can’t quite get away from is the time San Diegans rejected Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In January 1986 — the same year Martin Luther King Jr. Day was first celebrated as a national holiday — the San Diego City Council decided it wanted to rename a major roadway in honor of King, joining many large cities across the country that had similarly opted to rename streets or landmarks in honor of the Civil Rights icon.
