July 25, 2022- Renaming Ceremony at Civic Center Plaza
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Bluff City building will get a new name after Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill to rename it after the first Black federal judge.
The building was previously named after Clifford Davis, a Ku Klux Klan leader and supporter of Jim Crow laws.
Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09), a senior member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, released a statement after the committee passed bill H.R. 390, which would designate the Federal Building in Memphis as the Odell Horton Federal Building.
A renaming ceremony is scheduled for July 25 at 10 a.m. at Civic Center Plaza in front of the Odell Horton Federal Building.
