In honor of the tragic murder of Sandra Bland last July in Prairie View, TX,
the street leading to Prairie View A&M University in Texas has been renamed Sandra Bland Parkway!!!
According to The Root, The City Council voted on Tuesday to keep the name ‘Sandra Bland Parkway’ after local opposition.
If you recall…Sandra was on her way to her alma mater Prairie View A&M…before the unfortunate police interaction that eventually ended her life.
Many supporters felt that it was necessary to rename the street to not only pay homage to Sandra…but also to remind police officers of their duty to serve and protect.
