Street Renamed for Civil Rights Pioneer to be Dedicated

Jul 23rd, 2007

A sign unveiling for James H. Finley Drive in Mobile will take place on Saturday, July 28, 2007 at the corner of James H. Finley Drive (formerly Dixie Street) and Clement Street starting at 10 a.m. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

Earlier this month, the Mobile City Council approved the change honoring James H. Finley, who owned the chain of Finley Drug Stores. The site of the original store will soon be memorialized as part of the Mobile African-American Heritage Trail.
