Staunton City Council will publicly redesignate Green Street through proclamation at a special ceremony at 1 p.m., Jan. 26 in the Rita S. Wilson Council Chambers, City Hall, 116 West Beverley Street.

Green Street, in the Newtown Historic District, was originally named for General Nathanael Greene, a Revolutionary War hero. In addition to honoring Nathanael Greene, Green Street will be redesignated to also honor two African-American residents of Staunton who were war heroes in World War I and World War II, Capt. William Washington Green, Sr. and Capt. William W. Green, Jr.

Participants can watch the ceremony via Zoom.
