The Latino community, businesses, neighborhoods along Interstate, innocent bystanders who'd only watched the racially charged saga unfold, all were disgusted. And the Chinese American community was angry. The council's last-minute proposal to rename Fourth Avenue struck many in that community as disrespectful, since Fourth runs through Chinatown.

Fourth also rolls through one of Portland's most prominent symbols of diversity: Chinatown. An ornamental red and gold gateway inscribed with dragons and Chinese characters greets visitors and evokes ties to the Pacific Rim. Red and gold street lamps, a gift from Taiwan, line the street near restaurants that specialize in dim sum.

This is not the street that Latino activist Marta Guembes wanted to rename in honor of Cesar E. Chavez, the labor organizer and champion of migrant farm workers.
