HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A new street sign has been unveiled in Hamtramck after the city council voted in December to rename a portion of Holbrook Avenue.
The corner of Holbrook and Gallagher now features a sign above it which says “Palestine Avenue.”

The council’s resolution supporting the honorary naming states it is “intended as a gesture of solidarity, remembrance, and compassion for the lives lost in Gaza.”
The move is not surprising for the largely Arab-American community. In 2021, Hamtramck voters elected its first all Muslim city council.
