MTA New York City Transit Interim President Sarah Feinberg joined elected officials and the Provost of Medgar Evers College today in Brooklyn for a tour and celebration of the two newly renamed subway stations – Franklin Avenue-Medgar Evers College and President Street-Medgar Evers College – that now include the school’s name. The stations were renamed pursuant to an act of the legislature and signed by the Governor late last year and will serve as a continual reminder of the essential role that the institution plays in Brooklyn’s civic and educational life. The school was founded 50 years ago to honor Medgar Evers, the civil rights icon tragically assassinated by white supremacists in Mississippi nearly 60 years ago.
