BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The corner of Masten and E. Utica on Buffalo's East Side is now Agnes Bain Way.
Bain served as the director of the African American Cultural Center for over 40 years and died in 2020.
"Ms. Bain was a mother to many of us," said Ivy Wilson. "She made a great difference."
Dozens came out to watch her sign be unveiled. Bain was pivotal in her dedication to the arts in the City of Buffalo.
"We intend to move this legacy forward another 70 years," said Thembi Duncan, Secretary of the African American Cultural Center's board of directors. "This organization fills in a gap of systemic marginalization. Honor what she set up for us and help us keep it going."
