(Des Moines, IA) -- A Des Moines group wants the city to rename a street on the city's south side. The Des Moines Black Liberation Movement has an online petition calling on the city to rename George Flagg Parkway. George Flagg sat on the Des Moines City Council from 1980-2002. The group claims Flagg made several decisions it disagrees with when he was on the city council. The street was named after Flagg in 2001 and he died in 2006.
