Local lawmakers are urging the governor to sign a bill that will add Medgar Evers College to the names of two central Brooklyn subway stops.
Under the proposal, two stations, Franklin Avenue and President Street, would be renamed Franklin Avenue-Medgar Evers College and President Street-Medgar Evers College. The appending would mirror acknowledgments of Hunter College at the 68th Street station, New York University at the 8th Street stop and Columbia University at 116th Street.
State Senator Zellnor Myrie, who also represents Crown Heights and surrounding neighborhoods, said the renamings “would literally put one of our community’s most cherished institutions on the map.”
