Rename Albert Pike Rd. In Hot Springs Arkansas

Rename Albert Pike Rd. In Hot Springs Arkansas

The Issue

Growing up on Albert Pike in hot Springs Arkansas, I never knew it was named after a Senior Officer in the Confederate Army. This is very disrespectful and this needs to change to reflect how how America should be and the things and people we should commemorate by naming streets after them.

Since this is the hometown of President Bill Clinton why would that not be reflected on the name of one of our most popular streets instead of a general in a war that represented slavery?

I feel like this is a main street in my town and it should be named properly. Invite you to sign my petition if you agree.
