Jefferson Davis Street Renaming Survey
Jefferson Davis Street Renaming Survey
In June 2020, 15 Charlotte historians, journalists and public servants were called to form the Legacy Commission.
The Legacy Commission was tasked with compiling a list of street names, monuments and other markers in Charlotte that honor Confederate soldiers, slave owners and segregationists.
In addition, the commission made recommendations for rectification to support a new landscape that is representative of the dynamic and diverse city Charlotte has become and reflective of the inclusive vision it strives to achieve.
Jefferson Davis Street is prioritized for renaming and has been selected to pilot the engagement process. We believe the process must be community driven. You are receiving this survey as a resident of the Druid Hills Community. Your participation will help to select a new street name, and to ensure an equitable process moving forward. Survey participation is limited to Druid Hills residents, voting to select the final street name will be reserved for Jefferson Davis Street residents and property owners.
