California to name street after Tupac Shakur.

The city council of Oakland has unanimously voted to rename a street after late hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur. The stretch of MacArthur Boulevard by Lake Merritt where Shakur once lived will keep its existing name, but also receive the additional, honorary name of Tupac Shakur Way. The Tupac Shakur Foundation will cover the costs for commemorative plaques and signs signaling the change. Shakur was selected to remind people of his contributions to Oakland and celebrate art and culture as a catalyst for societal change.
