At Tuesday night's Fort Worth City Council meeting, there was debate on whether to rename the Hillside Community Center after Atatiana Jefferson.
It's only about a three-minute walk from where she lived and ultimately, the council unanimously voted to go through with the plan to honor her. Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean was convicted of manslaughter"Y'all know that I am in complete support of renaming Hillside to Atatiana," resident Kendra Richardson said."I am really surprised that we even have to be here today. I thought renaming Hillside to Atatiana was a done deal.
"This is not about Ms. Jefferson's legacy, but this is about other people who have contributed to the Hillside Community," resident Alonda Massey said. Douglas Spellman said his mother worked at the center for several years and greatly contributed.
