The Los Angeles community of Watts has honored activist 'Sweet' Alice Harris by renaming a segment of Lou Dillon Avenue to Sweet Alice Row, recognizing her decades of commitment to improving local education, housing, and social services. The renaming ceremony, attended by City Councilman Tim McOsker, celebrated Harris' role in founding the Parents of Watts Working with Youths and Adults in 1967, which aims to support youth and families amid challenges like poverty and crime. At 90 years old, Harris is known for her advocacy in uplifting the community, promoting education, and providing emergency aid. McOsker emphasized her unwavering dedication, stating she ensures that 'no one gets left behind.' The street renaming serves as a lasting tribute to her impactful legacy, which continues to inspire local leaders. Harris' journey began in Alabama before she moved to Los Angeles in the late 1950s, where she has become a beacon of hope in Watts.
