We are having a rally to change Ervay to Harvey Milk St. This is the street which runs past the infamous First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas where W.A. Criswell was pastor.

At the group page is a lot of links to historical materials pdfs which you can download and articles which you can read telling about W.A. Criswell and Robert Jeffress.
Henry Ervay for whom the street was named was part of the invasion of Nicaragua to make it a slave state, was a Confederate officer, and later played a key role in re-establishing white supremacy in Dallas when he was part of the effort to end the multi-racial democracy of Reconstruction.
