Black History Month spotlight:

"The City of Milwaukee will honor the late Juanita Adams with an honorary street naming for her activism, impact and legacy. The honorary street name will stretch from W. Highland Avenue between 17th and 18th streets near Highland Community School.

In December 1965, Adams became news when she protested construction of a school at 17th and Highland. She and demonstrators were fighting segregation. ‘What they were trying to do was they there were building that school, and we were trying to interrupt with the building,’ Cleo Adams, her former husband said. During a demonstration, Adams used her body to block a cement truck used during construction of the school. She was six months pregnant with her daughter, Jacinta Adams... After retiring from protesting, Juanita Adams mentored young people and volunteered with the Sojourner Family Peace Center. The building where Juanita Adams protested in 1965 was constructed, it’s where her great-granddaughter attends school today." - Fox6Now (FOX6 News Milwaukee)
