People stand with photo
Corey Webster, Becki Hardman and Alcindor Holie pose with a photo of their grandmother's distant uncle, John Cheatham, as the city of Minneapolis renames a street in the Longfellow neighborhood after the city's first Black fire captain, who worked at a fire station a few blocks away.
