mark a portion of the route of I 43 within the city of Milwaukee as the "Jeannetta
Simpson-Robinson Memorial Highway" in recognition and appreciation of the good
works of Jeannetta Simpson-Robinson, a lifelong community leader and activist,
who championed the poor, the disadvantaged, children, and peaceful non-violent
