Despite the icy winds and heavy rain, more than fifty people, including Nigerian Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka; former New York City Mayor David N. Dinkins; former U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria Walter Carrington; and civil rights leader Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker gathered on the corner of 44th Street and Second Avenue on Friday morning to unveil a street sign bearing the name of murdered Nigerian human rights activist Kordirat Abiola. Hafsat Abiola, daughter of Kudirat and Moshood Abiola, unveiled the sign with a smile of joy.
