The New Orleans City Council unanimously voted to honor musician Allen Toussaint by changing the name of Robert E. Lee Boulevard in Toussaint’s honor.
Allen Toussaint was a musician, producer, and songwriter who heavily influenced New Orleans rhythm and blues. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and awarded the National Medal of Arts by former President Barack Obama in 2013. He died while on tour in Spain in 2015.
The renaming will take effect on February 1st on the four-and-a-half-mile street.
