An excerpt from the article:


"Berkeley has renamed its historic old City Hall in tribute to longtime Councilmember Maudelle Shirek, bestowing an honor denied by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives who blocked a move earlier this year to name a post office after the progressive activist.

The Berkeley City Council unanimously adopted the resolution Tuesday after spending months trying to find a way to recognize Shirek, 94, who left the city council last year after serving for 20 years." (visit link)
