Grant - Don't know if any books about this, but sometime back in Louisville,
Kentucky, the old Chestnut Street downtown was renamed Muhammed Ali
Boulevard (because Muhammed Ali was born as Cassius Clay in Louisville).
Some of the members of the all-white, all-male, all old-Louisville Pendennis
Club, which was located on that same street and had to change its stationery
when the street name was changed, were said to be upset with the
transformation.
