especially for News. I am disappointed that an important event like this and all we get is the back of his head. I see a truck full of Reporters and no one is carrying a video camera?

the name of the bridge will be changed. It should be. Probably a lot of folks would like "The Martin Luther King, Jr. Bridge," but I wish it could be more inclusive of all the brave souls who suffered there. "Peace Bridge" or "Brotherhood Bridge." or something along a theme like those.

Equality Bridge? or Human Rights Bridge?

But I like your suggestions too. Just thought I'd add a couple more.
