When I first moved into the City from the suburbs, I moved onto Fannie Lewis's street. I loved living on the street with her. She was a no nonsense lady and I always felt safe and the street was always nice and clean. Thank you councilwoman for making a difference for me.

Fannie Lewis was a very strong black influential woman. One thing I can say if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. My aunt was a very impressive black female that believed in peoples rights no matter what race. My aunt believed if you were right you were right if you were wrong you are just that you are wrong. It had nothing to do with color. I thank my aunt for paving the way for all people nationwide and in her neighborhood. I hope to see her street named after her and her home going to be a blessing as she was to our family.
Nannie was who she was to me my aunt. Fannie Lewis strong black female with a lot to say and to stand for was who she was to the world that made a difference in everyones life.
