LinkLinksOpinion Raymond Blanks in The Post: A name change for East of the River won’t fix its problems By Editor On Sep 13, 2019 Last updated Sep 13, 2019 51 Share As their recent pontification shows, two D.C. Council members who represent the largely segregated area known as East of the River are recommending a name change. It is a serious suggestion but is without serious merit or community support. The council members, Vincent C. Gray (D-Ward 7) and Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8), maintain this alteration is required to reverse the area’s current status, generate its transformation and elevate its reputation. The more familiar name is only a geographic description lacking real meaning and burdens the community with a negative connotation. 51 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
