This weekend the Boulevard — a historic road through Virginia’s capitol city — will be renamed.
The new name? Arthur Ashe Boulevard.
That’s in honor of the tennis great and humanitarian who was born in Richmond. Ashe died in 1993. And, as Mallory Noe-Payne reports, attempts to honor his legacy have been long in the making.
