U.S. Rep. Wesley Bell has introduced legislation to rename a St. Louis post office for journalist and civil rights leader Charles “Chuck” Stone Jr.
The proposal would designate the U.S. Postal Service facility at 8390 North Broadway as the Chuck Stone Post Office. Stone, a St. Louis native and Tuskegee Airman, later became a prominent journalist and the first president of the National Association of Black Journalists.
Stone died in 2014.
