The sponsor's argument

Why Cordell Cleare says this is needed

The current 110th Street-Central Park North subway station is located at the origin of Malcolm X Boulevard and sits squarely underneath Malcolm Shabazz Plaza. The tiling of the Subway Station already pays tribute to Malcolm X, as does a number of pieces of artwork, installed during a 1998 renovation, called Message from Malcolm by Maren Hassinger. It consists of mosaic panels on the platform and main fare control area's street stairs that depict quotes and writings by Malcolm X written in script and surrounded by mosaic borders. Given this confluence of factors, the MTA should rename the Station to bear the name of the preeminent Civil Rights Crusader, Malcolm X.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
