    About this Episode

    There is a proposal in front of the Detroit City Council to rename Hart Plaza in the name of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. While some debate the legacies of Sen. Phil Hart and Rev. Dr King, the name isn't what makes the spot so special. On a new Daily J, WWJ's Zach Clark digs into a Detroit hotspot. (PHOTO: Christopher Bjorn/USA Today)
