The stretch of MacArthur Boulevard between Van Buren and Grand avenues will now be called Tupac Shakur Way.
Oakland is honoring Tupac Shakur by remaining a portion of MacArthur Boulevard after the iconic rapper.
"He's a leader, he's an innovator, his duality, his fight for the people," radio personality Sway Calloway said."He stood 10 toes down, and the fight that he fought for us resonated all around the globe." "The same things that made who Tupac was, what he was fighting for and trying to lift up through his music is what we are fighting for today," Fife said.
"On these streets, you can't mention my brother's name if you are still taking a Black man's life," Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, Tupac's sister, said.
