The San Antonio City Council has approved a plan to rename a section of Iowa Street on the East Side to Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Way to honor America’s first African American military pilots.
Council members last week signed off on the street renaming request, which was submitted by the San Antonio chapter of Tuskegee Airmen. The section of Iowa Street being renamed Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Way stretches from South Cherry Street to Palmetto Street.
