Rochester, New York‘s airport will be renamed to honor 19th-century abolitionist and freedom fighter Frederick Douglass, one of its most famous and influential residents.
According to usatoday.com, the Monroe County Legislature voted Tuesday night to change the airport’s name to the “Frederick Douglass – Greater Rochester International Airport,” adding the Douglass’ name to the existing airport’s title.
To quote from USA TODAY: The bill was sponsored by the legislature’s Democratic Minority Leader Vince Felder and Republican Legislator Karla Boyce, reports the Democrat & Chronicle, which is part of the USA TODAY Network.
