Philadelphia's Taney Street, named after the controversial Supreme Court Justice Roger Taney, is set to be renamed LeCount Street in honor of Caroline LeCount, a prominent civil rights leader and educator. The decision follows years of advocacy led by the Rename Taney Coalition, which found that 90% of local residents supported the change, and aims to rectify historical injustices associated with the Taney name. LeCount, known as 'Philly's Rosa Parks', fought against segregation on streetcars in the 19th century and was the first Black woman to pass the city's teaching exam. City Council President Kenyatta Johnson and other council members announced the proposed legislation, with hopes for the new signs by January. This renaming marks a significant step in honoring overlooked contributions to Philadelphia's history, as LeCount becomes the first Black woman to have a street named after her in the city. The change is seen as a vital move against structural racism, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and correcting historical wrongs.
